Blackall Machine Tool and Gage Award
The Blackall Machine Tool and Gage Award is presented for the best current original paper or papers (not published elsewhere) which has/have been presented before ASME and/or published by ASME during the two calendar years immediately preceding the year of the award. The paper(s) should clearly demonstrate that the science and engineering technologies outlined in the paper, resulted in a significant contribution to the manufacturing processes and systems for the design or application of machine tools, gauges, dimensional measuring instruments, or new manufacturing technologies and metrology approaches.
Papers by multiple authors are eligible. The award shall be made annually if warranted.
The award was established in 1954 by Frederick S. Blackall, Jr., Fellow and Seventy-second President of the Society.
