ABSTRACT:
A novel collet and chuck are disclosed for applying high levels of torque to an article having substantially circular cross-sections about a common axis and sloping sides, such that it cannot be readily gripped by conventional chucks without marring the exterior surface of the article. A collet is provided which is reinforced against torsional distortion and which provides a rubber interior surface conforming to the article. Torque levels as high as 1700 inch-pounds may be applied to such articles, such as projectile shells, in accordance with the invention. Means are provided for rapidly releasing the article from the chuck after the torquing operation.
