Abstract: A GRINDING MACHINE COMPRISES A GRINDING A WHEEL FOR GRINDING A CIRCUMFERENTIAL SURFACE OF A WORKPIECE OF CIRCULAR CROSS-SECTION SUCH AS A STEEL ROLL, TRAVERSING MEANS ADAPTED TO EFFECT RELATIVE LONGITUDINAL TRAVERSING MOVEMENT IN THE DIRECTION OF THE AXIS OF THE WORKPIECE, BETWEEN THE GRINDING WHEEL AND THE WORKPIECE, ROTARY MEANS FOR ROTATING THE WORKPIECE WHILE IT IS BEING GROUND, GAUGING MEANS FOR DETERMINING, WHILE THE GRINDING WHEEL IS GRINDING THE WORKPIECE, ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DATUM VALUE AND THE DIAMETER OF THE PARTICULAR CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE WORKPIECE ON WHICH THE GRINDING WHEEL IS ACTING MEANS, CONTROLLED BY THE GAUGING MEANS, FOR ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE GRINDING WHEEL IN A SENSE TO BRING SAID DIFFERENCE TO A PREDETERMINED VALUE, A MOVABLE DATUM MEMBER PROVIDING SAID DATUM VALUE, A CAM ROTATION OF WHICH IS ADAPTED TO EFFECT ADJUSTMENT OF THE POSITION OF SAID DATUM MEMBER, THEREBY ADJUSTING THE DATUM VALUE, CONTROL MEANS, ACTUATED BY THE TRAVERSING MEANS, AND

CONTROLLING THE CAM DRIVING MEANS IN A MANNER TO RELATE THE ROTATIONAL POSITION OF THE CAM TO THE POSITION OF THE TRAVERSING MEANS, THE CONTROL MEANS BEING ADJUSTABLE IN A MANNER TO VARY THE RELATION BETWEEN THE ROTATIONAL POSITION OF THE CAM AND THE POSITION OF THE TRAVERSING MEANS.
