In the 40's I wonder how many of the parts were done on automated
tools. They would not be "CNC" but they might have been build on
specialized tools that only make one kind of part.I think this is
a lost technology. I worked a little bit on aircraft and what I
saw was a huge dependance on
Surprising that just for the fun of doing it, someone hasn't built a punched
tape reader for a 3D printer. Would be much less complicated that the old
machines, just encode G-code to hole patterns and have a reader for the tape
send the code to an Arduino with a RAMPS board.

First, please don't top post, and second, yes.
And the 2.7.4 you are running is quite old. If you have not update
I'm using the LinuxCNC 2.7.4 with the realtime support.
Does the "2.8 pre" have the same RT support?

When we were refurbishing the B-17 I was often amazed with the thought of
all those precision parts produced mainly by hand.
20,000 B-17s X 4 engines X 18 pistons + spares = one huge chunk of machine
time. A person could wear out several pairs of boots standing in front of a
lathe for that long
Back when the term "CNC" was coined there where other non-numeric
methods of controlling machines. and there where non-computer methods
of machine controls. It was possible to do numeric control with no
computer (using punched paper tape) and you could do non-numeric
control using mechanical link
I thought that was "hanging chad" rather than "shard".

I'm probably dating myself, but back in 1976 I ran an NC mill for a
while at a shop in Detroit. I was pretty young back then.
It was definitely not a CNC. You loaded it with paper tapes and hoped
that the guy punching the tape in the front office did his job.
The guy in the front office read t

I remember my dad going to take an NC course at Sundstrand. The
concept of NC (Numeric Control) vs manual control was a big step in
industry (think of looms vs Jacquard looms - a lot of manual labor
between these technologies). The makers of big mills that milled
parts for Bell Helicopters back i

Before there was CNC there was NC.
