ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a sender unit is attached to the portion of the body corresponding to the damaged opposite portion and a surfacing unit is attached to the damaged portion. A sending head is traversed horizontally and vertically, either separately or simultaneously in a composite motion, over the undamaged portion of the body and this sender head is provided with a plurality of surface contacting probes which follow the contour accurately. Each probe moves upwardly and downwardly following the contour of the body and transmits these movements by flexible cable to the surfacing unit. The surfacing unit is provided with a surfacing head which also traverses the damaged area horizontally and vertically in synchronization with the movement of the sending head. The surfacing head is provided with a plurality of chisel like cutters which are moved upwardly and downwardly by the vertical movement of the sender probes so that the cutters follow the contour of the undamaged surface and cut away filler material which has been placed on the damaged surface. This enables the filler material to be contoured rapidly and easily using the undamaged corresponding body portion as a template. In another embodiment, the cutters are replaced by small anvils which once again traverse the damaged portion and act as a dolly for initial straightening of the damaged portion.
