Introduction

A national research organisation is offering a technology for pearl drilling machine. Artisans engaged in pearl drilling activity are fixing pearls in the holes of raw wooden laft and making holes with the help of manual drilling traditionally used by the carpenters. In this method artisans have to remain very much vigilant which some time adversely affects their eye sight. In order to avoid this complication the institute has developed a simple machine with the help of which artisans can drill 3 to 4 times more pearls without being so much vigilant at the time of working.
