A MONG DESIGN CONCEPTS, the turbine-blade is one of the most difficult to translate into accurate dimensional fact. Shape, often the material, the standard of accuracy that must be achieved, and, in a full manufacturing programme, the quantities that are required, all create not merely initial, but continuing problems. Blade production is, indeed, a complex and continuous exercise in quality-control.
