No, Culver, my father didn't grind cams like you.
He abused an ancient lathe by mounting grindstones in the chuck. Camshafts were mounted in a rectangular frame that slid on a rod mounted parallel to the lathe bed, and rotated towards and away from the stone. Each Cam was presented to the stone by hand, measurements being taken by micrometer from time to time.
