CORRUGATED SHEATHING

CORRUGATED SIDINGIn the construction of models of domestic aircraft such as TB-1, TB-3 and other required shirred casing, which is coated frame model. To make this trim easy. For this is the “rolling mill”, shown in the figure. For its production choose two of the same gear Ø 20-30 mm. of the same size will be the diameter of the rolls. The base of the machine — dural channel. To it with screws attached two dural pillar thickness of 8 mm. Between them there are two rolls with a length of 100 mm. the Axle shaft of the lower roll to freely rotate in the apertures of the columns (preferably without backlash), and the upper “floating” inserts of rectangular shape, which is inserted in a rectangular window racks. It is necessary to adjust the clearance between the rolls.
