Stellar precision 11/01/2008
 
Bedfordshire’s Cranfield University, which since the 1960s has been able to boast a long line of R&D facilities, has unveiled the latest building that adds further to its Precision Engineering Centre. The Hexagon Loxham Precision Laboratory (named after chief sponsor Hexagon Metrology and eminent metrologist and engineer, the late Professor John Loxham, CBE) is intended to fulfil a number of commercial and research projects including, perhaps most notably, the manufacture of mirrors for NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.
