Abstract

An expensive shaft was salvaged by depositing nickel on an undersized bearing journal. The shaft is a component in the Master Equatorial instrument, required for the 64-m-diameter antenna of the Deep Space Network. In special cases, this electroplating process could be considered part of the fabrication method rather than a salvage process.
