E.1 Principle
E.2 Apparatus and materials
a) A flat plate mounted in the horizontal plane with a framework for clamping an abrasive pad.
b) A motor driven arm to which a rubbing head is pivoted.
14 c) The arm reciprocates the rubbing head on a straight course along the length of the abrasive pad with approximate sinusoidal motion.
d) The rubbing head is attached to the arm by a parallelogram linkage to allow free vertical movement of the head whilst maintaining its working surface in a horizontal plane. There is negligible play or friction between the head and the arm.
