I’ve seen this before, good stuff.
Also the reason why I've subscribed to RET magazine for over a decade.

The impressive level of precision used in machining, inspection and testing at nearly every opportunity parallels (government-funded) aerospace-level of production and quality assurance. But if that isn't impressive enough, machining the pin bores to compensate for pin flex under load pretty much blows my mind. Thanks for posting.

Interesting video. It surprises me they are using the Zyglo (Dye penetrant) process to check for cracks. I would have expected to see an Ultrasound inspection.
