dc.description.abstract	<p> This thesis is a study of numerically controlled machine tools (NCMT), and is divided into four sections. </p> <p> Section A is a literature survey of current concepts, criteria and techniques in design of MCMT structures and drives. Several of the authors own ideas are also included. </p> <p> Section B deals with NCMT manual and computer aided programming techniques. The structure and function of post processors is also covered. </p> <p> Section C is a practical combination of computer design optimization and numerical control manufacture. In an example the geometrical dimensions of a hydrostatic thrust bearing are optimized and used as an input to a generalized APT programme, written to produce a numerical control tape for manufacture of this bearing type. </p> <p> Section D is the discussion and conclusion. </p>	en_US
