Section Cutting Unit<br />
The Section-Culling Unit is one <strong>of</strong> the basic requirements for palaeobotanical investigations<br />
<strong>of</strong> megafossils. The unit, established in a spacious hall, has four sectioncutting<br />
machines and two grinding machines. TIlis year a heavy-duty rock-cutting machine<br />
was fabricated locally and got installed. The machine has now enabled the scientists to<br />
have sections <strong>of</strong>large specimens.<br />
In addition, state-<strong>of</strong>-art cutting and lapping machines from the Logitech Ltd.,<br />
Glasgow, U.K. have been added to this Unit. These machines are installed in a separate airconditioned<br />
room attached to the main hall <strong>of</strong> Section-Culling Unit. The machine will<br />
cater the need <strong>of</strong> the scientists for obtaining well polished specimens and slides <strong>of</strong> precise<br />
and uniform thickness.<br />
