It is beautifully made but we reckon it would take a day a bore!
My father writes:
"Here are photographs of an Austin Seven cylinder boring tool made during the war at The Bristol Aeroplane Company by the father of a friend of mine in Frampton.
It was made to bypass the wartime problems for private A7 owners.
I was shown how it worked 40 years ago and the only memory I have is of exhaustion."
