This machine tool was developed around a part family of V8 and V6 engine blocks, and performed machining operations on various inclined surfaces. Although designed from a library of machine modules, the Arch Type RMT did not exhibit modularity, in the sense that machine modules could not be added to or removed from the platform to enhance or diminish the machine’s
