Abstract
A surface processing apparatus for painting or otherwise treating variously contoured surfaces. A track includes an elongated pliant beam to which a bending apparatus is attached for the purpose of conforming it to the contour of the surface to be processed. A carriage is mounted on the track for movement along the length thereof and in turn mounts a surface processing tool. The tool is operable to process a strip of the surface adjacent the track. Apparatus is provided for moving the track incrementally along the surface, processing strips sequentially until the entire surface has been processed.
