Introduction
Highly developed production engineering has become the most important factor of production all over the world. Nothing could prove it better than the fact that industrial production has grown nearly fiftyfold since the torn of the century. This upspring is due mainly to the development of technology. Both in the teaching of manufacturing engineering and in the production of the necessary means great arrears had to be made up during the fifties. The realisation of this faqct opened the way for the establishment of the Department of Manufacturing Engineering at the Technical University of Budapest in 1951.
