with twelve chucks for holding the parts to be tested and a vertically 

 reciprocating turret head T which carries the gages and contact 

 fixtures for making the tests. 



The hopper H, chain elevator E and feed tube F are shown in more 

 detail in Fig. 5. The coils are carried up from the hopper by the 



Fig. 5 



elevator, two on each cross bar, and drop one after the other into the 

 sloping chute 5. Since the parts must be right end up for testing, the 

 turning device B (shown in detail in Fig. 6) is placed at the end of the 

 chute to turn over those pieces that are not already right end up. 

 From the turning device the parts drop into the vertical feed tube F.
