The Puma Man;
Now you will have someone ask what a cam operated nutbox is. Did you operate a capstan with this ability? Herbert possibly?
Theoretically it would be possible to do this on a CNC lathe because the problem is not any more difficult than rigid tapping but I have no idea if it has ever been implemented.
