We take pleasure in placing in tiie hands of our customers our Catalogue of 1H94, illustrating some of the machines and tools for sheet metal and other work manufactured by us. Our constant aim in the past has been to supply the most perfect sheet metal working machinery, and in the future neither effort nor expense will be spared in maintaining this policy, which has met with such liberal support from manufacturers. We have been for many years the leading manufacturers in this line in the United States, and our domestic trade has been supplemented by such a large and constantly increasing demand from abroad that our machines may now be found in almost every country on the globe. During the last few years we have more than doubled the extent of our Brooklyn works. The machine shops now cover an entire city block, with buildings four and six stories high. We have also largely increased our facilities by the introduction of new machinery, electric traveling cranes, etc., and are better prepared than ever for meeting the require- ments of the trade. In December, 1890, we amal,gamated with our business that of The Stiles and Parker Press Co. (Middletown, Conn.), who have for many years upheld a reputation second to none, for the peculiar excellence of their presses, drop hammers and special machinery. We are now in a position to offer our customers the combined patterns, facilities and experience of the two largest and oldest establishments in this line. On the two following pages we .give a list of some of the principal classes of machinery made by us, and of some of the articles for which they are specially adapted. Our Foundry Department, which occupies separate buildings, has also been largely extended. It is fully ec]uipped with steam cranes, elevators, and other appliances for making a superior quality of heavy castings in green sand, dry sand, and loam, for all purposes. We solicit patronage in this department. We wish to assure our friends, both in the United States and abroad, that we shall endeavor to merit the same confidence in the future with which we have been favored so liberally in the past, and that their commands and inquiries shall have our prompt and careful attention.

The Bliss Clutch and the Stiles Clutch have been in operation for so many years and have stood the test of long continued wear and strain so successfully, that very little need be said here about their well- known merits. Improvements in the details have been added from time to time, but in principle they have remained the same. It will be under- stood that on presses provided with these automatic clutches the fly-wheel revolves freely on the shaft, until a pressure on the foot treadle establishes an almost instantaneous connection between them, thus imparting move- ment to the slide or mandrel which carries the punch. If the foot is removed from the treadle as soon as the shaft has started, only one stroke will result, the slide stopping automatically at the highest point ; but if the foot is kept on the treadle, the movement continues. When so ordered, we put in two or more clutch grooves for the Bliss Clutch, or two or three clutch pins for the Stiles Clutch, so that only a very small portion of a revolution can be lost in starting after the treadle is depressed. The Bliss Clutch is known to be specially smooth and reliable in its action. One of the advantages of the Stiles Clutch is that it allows the shaft to be turned to the lowest point of the stroke for setting dies while the wheel is in motion, it being impossible to start the press by any accidental pressure on the treadle. No screws to set up, no pins to adjust, no acci- dents through neglect ; the lock is self-acting. The wheel can also be turned backward to release a punch when " stuck " in the die or in fitting punches to the die. In addition to the above, we use other Automatic Clutches, among which there are several that have been patented quite recently. We apply them to our presses in accordance with the circumstances and the wishes of our customers. n "BLISS" AUTOMATIC FRICTION CLUTCH. The application of our Automatic Friction Clutch represents a radical departure and a great advance in the construction of power presses. It obviates entirely many of the difficulties experienced with the regular automatic clutches on heavy back-geared presses. Its application and construction will be understood from the cuts on pages 13^-12.5 and 179. A pressure on the foot treadle shown, releases the weight which actuates a powerful friction clutch on the back shaft, thus starting the press almost instantaneously and obviating entirely the heavy metallic blow, which in the ordinary clutches tends to destroy the parts and frequently causes e.xpensive delays and repairs. After the shaft has made one complete revolution a cam releases the friction clutch, bringing into action at the same time a brake and thus stopping the slide at the highest point of the stroke. The large gear wheel instead of revolving continually, is, with these new clutches, keyed on to the shaft, and at a standstill until the clutch is thrown into action. This constitutes an additional advantage, in the saving of considerable wear on the shaft and wheel hub. There is nothing about these clutches which is liable to get out of order, and for whatever wear may be occasioned by continuous use easy means of compensation are provided, FRICTION CLUTCHES. Friction Clutches in connection with brakes are used extensively on the heavier drawing presses, and are so arranged that the slides can be stopped, started, or held at any point of the stroke, thus giving the operator perfect control over all the movements of the machine. 12 FEED MOTIONS. AuKimatic Feeds of nearly every variety can Ije altachcd t(i any t)f the presses, if so ordered. Tlic principal styles are: The single and double rt>ll feed operated either by ratchet, belt, searing- or friction rolls; ratchet and friction dial feeds ; grip feeds; reel feeds ; taljle feeds ; tulie feeds; hopper feeds; slide feeds; finger feeds, etc. Combination feeds result from combining several of the feeds in one machine for the purpcjse of guiding pieces automatically throu.gh several operations. Some of the principal varieties are shown on pages 27 iind 140 to KiO. MODIFICATIONS OF PATTERNS. Many of the press patterns have been made with special reference tc) alterations, as required for the various kinds of work to be done. In the tables of dimensions we give such as may be termed '' regular," but as the character of the work frequently necessitates alterations in these details, parties ordering arc requested tC) be explicit in stating their requirements in this connection. SPECIAL MACHINERY. We are prepared to design and build special machinery for working- wire, sheet metal, paper, etc., either with or without automatic feeds. There are many articles that can be made automatically on our regular presses, and for such work we apply to them such roll, table, or dial feeds, as may be required. A number of such machines will be found illustrated and described on pages 143-1(56. 13 INQUIRIES. Inquiries should always be accompanied with full particulars as to the class and size of the work to be done. If yt)U are looking for machinery to manufacture a new article, it will be necessary to send us either a sample or exact drawing of same, show- ing clearly all the shapes, dimensions, and jcjints, such as y'f)u wish to have them in the finished article. Small modifications in all these points sometimes involve considerable alterations in the outfit required. It will also be necessary for us to know whether you intend to use belt power, or wish to operate your machines \>y hand or foot. If you intend to start a manufacturing establishment for some stand- ard goods, such as tinware, fruit, or petroleum cans, cutlery, lanterns or lamps, etc., it will also be necessary to ,gi\'e particulars concerning the exact size and character of the goods to be made. It is essential to name the daily production to be attained. In the smaller factories one machine is frequently used to take in a large range of work of widely varying dimensions, while in the larger establishinents a number of machines of various sizes would be preferable for the same purpose. It will be under- stood, therefore, that in order to give an intelligent estimate in such cases, we should be fully informed as to the intentions of the purchaser. In the case of Punching Presses, state the kind and thickness of the material to be punched, the size and number of the holes, their relative position to each other, if more than one, and their position in relation to the sheet, bar or beam in which they are to be punched, so that we can determine the depth of throat needed. For Shearing Machines, state the thickness and kind of material, the length of cut, and its distance from edge. 14 DIRECTIONS FOR SETTING UP AND OPERATING THE "BLISS" POWER PRESSES, SETTING DIES, Etc. Place the press in position, level it, and fasten it securely to the floor. Turn the shaft with the lever to ascertain if the slide works suffi- ciently tight to prevent any variation, yet perfectly smooth and steady. The adjusting screws should be set up enough to insure this result. The balance wheel should run toward the operator, as indicated by arrow on the hub. To change the adjustable presses from upright to incline position, or the reverse, loosen the set screw that binds the treadle rod at the elbow, loosen the binding bolts that are on the inside of the frame, place the wrench on the pinion shaft and turn the press to the position desired; tighten the binding bolts and set screw, and the press is ready for work. Press the treadle with the foot, and, as soon as motion is given to the shaft, remove the foot. The shaft will make one revolution and the slide will stop at the highest point. If the foot remains upon the treadle the shaft will continue to revolve. Be particular to keep the working parts well oiled. Especial care should be given to this point, and good oil will be found best and cheapest. In setting dies, in all cases first remove the belt from the press. This precaution is necessary, not only for the safety of the tools but also for that of the operator. Secure the punch or upper die in the slide and place the lower die on the bolster plate. Turn the shaft with the lever until the punch enters the die. Tighten the bolster plate slightly and fasten the die securely to it ; carefully raise the punch and then lower it into the die to be sure that all is right. See that all bolts are fully tightened. Shorten or lengthen the connection between the slide and shaft by turning the adjusting sleeve until the punch enters the die far enough to do the work required, then tighten the jam nuts on the connecting screw. 15 DIRECTIONS FOR SETTING UP AND OPERATING THE "STILES" POWER CUTTING AND PUNCHING PRESSES. First. Line up and level the press and fasten securely to the floor. Second. The shaft should run in the direction indicated by the arrow on the front end of shaft, and, for ordinary work, should make as many revolutions per minute as will be found specified for each size of press. Higher speeds are admissible for light work only. Third. In order to have the slide work sufficiently tight in its ways set up the gib screws until its tightness can just be felt in turning the eccentric ring with the pinion-wrench. Fourth. Secure the punch in its proper place in the slide. Place the die on the bolster which covers the bed of the press ; then turn the crank down to the lowest point, and lower the punch into the die with the eccen- tric adjustment ; now secure the die to the bolster, after which raise the punch and carefully lower again into the die, to be sure that it enters easily and without obstruction. Having ascertained that the die and punch are properly fastened, lower the punch again into the die just far enough to do the work required, and fasten the eccentric ring securely in its place. To guard against accidents while setting the die, the Stiles Press cannot be started when the slide is down, or not until the crank is returned to within about 15 degrees of its highest point. Fifth. Place the foot upon, and give pressure to, the treadle, and remove it as soon as motion has been communicated to the slide, and it will revolve once and stop at the highest point. Continue the pressure, and the motion will continue until the pressure is withdrawn. The slide or punch will always stop at the highest point, if it is properly tight in the ways. Sixth. Keep all the parts well oiled, especially the crank-pin that works in the eccentric ring, which must be reached through the oil-hole found in the front end of the shaft ; but the eccentric ring, where it is held in the pitman should be kept free from oil, and occasionally removed and cleaned. 10 BENCH PRESS No. 13.

There is pruliably no type (if power presses that has met with SLich general favor amons manufacturers of sheet metal noods as the line of adjustable presses which we designate by the numbers l8 to 22, Nearly all the best manufacturing establishments in this line in America, and many in Europe and Australia, employ one rir several of these presses. The range of work for which they are adapted covers nearly every kind of blank-cutting, perforating, forming and combination die work, inclu- ding a large proportion of the operations needed in the manufacture of cans, pieced tinware, brass griods, trimmings, etc. For convenience, durability and range of usefulness this line of presses is acknowledged to be unsurpassed. Several inodifications have recently been made in their construction, .giving them greater capacity, accuracy and strength, but they retain the same general appearance as heretofore. The feature which mainly distinguishes this line of presses from others of our make is the ease with which they can be adjust- ed from the upright to the inclined position by a few turns of a wrench. This is a point of importance for users of combination dies and other tools which are preferal)ly used on inclined die beds so tis to allows the stamped article to sliile off automatically by its own .gravity. The No. 22 press is the only one of this series which, bein.g very heavy, cannot be used in both positions on the same set of legs. In connection with the mandrel of all these presses (the No. 22 only excepted) there is a knock- out attachment for dischar.ging the work from the upper die, thus dispensing wdth the nttmerous springs which, in combination dies, so often prove unreliable. The " Bliss" Clutch, which we are usin.g on these presses is exceed- ingly powerful, yet simple in construction, and not liable to .get out of order. The shafts are of forged steel, all the materials are of the best, and all the workin.g parts are carefully and accurately finished. Instead cd the "Hliss" Clutch, we furnish, if preferred, the "Johnson" Clutch, in which case 3 or 4 clutch points at each revolution are pro- vided without extra charge. Since our last catalogue was issued, we have added greatly to the strength and durability of these presses by making the upper and lower screw connections of the mandrel as well as the caps out of steel forgings instead of cast iron, and putting a split bronze bushing around the crank wrist. A Treadle-Lock (not shown in the cuts) is furnished with these presses. It is (jperated by foot in either direction, so as to lock the treadle down, for continuous running or up, to guard against starting the press by accident. A treadle-lock of this kind is shown in cut on page 115. One bed plate or bolster, bidster bolts, suitable wrenches and levers, are furnished with each press without extra charge.

They are used for broaching, reducing and other operations requiring a long and steady movement of the punch. 31 STILES" ECCENTRIC ADJUSTMENT. "Stiles" Open=Back Power Presses, Nos. io'j-i6 and 3oX-36. These Presses arc extensively used f^r blankinJ,^ punchinfr, perforating, forming, trimming, etc., in the manufacture of tinware, brass and copper goods, silverware, hardware, cutlery, drop forcings, etc. They embody a number of special features, which greatly add to their accuracy, convenience and durability. The Stiles Eccentric Adjustment is a specially valuable feature. It not only permits of rapid and very accurate adjustment, but transmits the pressure entirely through solid metal, instead of throwing it upon screw threads— a decided advantage for heavy work. It will be understood that by this device the stroke is not changed, but the punch is raised and lowered (according to the direction in which the sleeve is turned) to suit different thicknesses of dies. The Stiles Automatic Clutch is simple, strong and reliable. It allows the shafts to_ be turned for setting dies while the wheel is in motion, without endangering the operator, it being impossible to start the Press by any accidental pressure upon the treadle. No screws to set up, no pins to adjust, no accidents through neglect; the lock being self-acting. The wheel can also be turned backward to release a punch when " stuck " in the die or in fitting punches to the die. The value of this feature is well known to those familiar with presses of this kind. The Patent Eccentric Friction Shoe is used for taking up the wear of the shaft, leaving the bearings solid, instead of making them in halves, and dispensing with the use of a special brake to overcome the momentum. These shoes extend through the full length of the bearings, and are chambered out to receive oil for lubricating the shaft. The Adjustment of the Frame, from the upright to the inclined position and I'ice versa^ is the feature which distinguishes the Nos. 30'j-36 series from the Nos. ioV^i6, This adjustment, which is operated by means of the screw and handle, sIkjwii in cuts on pages 31:^ and 38, permits of inclining even the larger sizes with considerable ease and rapidity. For combination dies and many other tools the ilicline position adds much to the convenience of operating and to the rapidity of production. The No. 10>j-l(i series are furnished for either the upright or incline position without change.

For Prices and Dimensions, see page 39. 37 "STILES" CENTRAL SWING PRESSES, NOS. 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 AND 26. In Adjustable Incline Presses, as usually constructed, the movement is from a centre somewhere below the axis of the driving shaft, so that, the shaft, moving in the arc of a circle described from that centre, the belt tension is changed. This compels the operator to stop the machine, re- move the belt and substitute one of proper length, whenever the change from the upright to the incline, or vice rrrji;, is needed. In this con- struction, the movement being from a centre coincident with the axis of the shaft, the position can be changed to any desirable angle without stopping the press or removing the belt, by simply turn- ing the crank shown on lower portion of leg. This change can be effected with greater rapidity and ease than in any other press hitherto put on the marl^et, a boy being able to incline even the largest of this series of presses with great ease and rapidity. The treadle and stop motion are not disturbed by the change of position, but are always in proper con- nection, and the press can be swung to any angle within its range, ready for work, by simply turning the crank and tightening one nut, which clamps both legs rigidly on to the frame. These presses have the Stiles Eccentric Adjustment, the Automatic Clutch, and Patent Circular Shoe, same as embodied in the New Open- Back Presses described on page 31. The Press, when set on the incline, is intended for work cut and formed in one operation, which, on rising from the dies, will slide back by gravity, thus greatly facilitating the removal of the work. When set level, it is adapted for all work usually done on upright presses. 38 "STILES" CENTRAL SWING POWER PRESS, NO. 23.

It dispenses with skilled labor and improves the appearance of the work. The rivets are placed on the horn with their heads down in depres- sions which determine their position. The pail or pot is then slipped on the horn against adjustable gauges, while the ear is placed over and against spring gauge pins. The first movement of the plunger forces the rivets through the body of the pail so that they enter into the holes of the ears which, of course, were previously punched. The pail with ear loosely attached is now drawn forward against another set of spring gauge pins, and a second stroke of the press completes the work by setting down the heads. One set of dies will answer for all sizes of pails or coffee pots, provided the ear is the same size. Each different ear calls for a separate set of dies.

For Forming and Closing Lock Side Seams. TII18 machine is designed to facilitate tlie manufacture of lock-seamed tinware. It obviates the necessity of using a bar-folder for forming the hooks on the body blank before rttlling same on the forming machine. Its operation is exceedingly simple and reliable. The blank is first formed in the rolls, then placed in the machine, which forms the two hooks at one stroke and closes them at a second stroke. The advantages obtained are : First— That tlie l)l;nik is roUrd in the Hat. not having any hooks la-eviously formed to interfi-rt- with tlie operati<.ni. Second— That both edges are hooked at one blow and closed at a second blow. Third— That the hook-forming and closing are done in < ne handling. Fourth— That the seam is more uniform than if started in the bar-folder. The horn can be so made as tri throw the seam inside or outside, as oidered. All lengths of bodies up to 14 inches can be seamed on the one horn. These horns and forces are not adapted to be operated in presses having more than % inch stroke of slide. The adjustable gauge now provided allows of j'^ inch variation in width of locks No. i6}4 Press, when so ordered, will seam bodies S inches diameter x3 inches long, and 4-inch and larger diamettrs up to 9 inches long.

C0\'F.RE1) I!V SE-\|.:kAI, TA-IENTS. By means of the graduation on the eccentric ring a record can be kept of the setting of the dies, so that by referring to a boolc Icept for the pur- pose, they can be readjusted, without trying, to the exact position in which they have previously been found to worl< best. This graduated adjustment we now put on all the " Stiles " Presses without extra charge. 58 STILES" POWER PUNCHING PRESSES. NOS. 0, 1, 2, 3, 3'i, 4, 4-'i, 5 and 5'i. For Dimensions and Illustrations, see pa^^es 57, 'JO, fjl, 'J2, (j8, G4, 05. There is hardly another style of Power Press that has met with such general favor among manufacturers of articles requiring- heavy punching, as the line of " Stiles" Power Punching Presses which we designate by the numbers of to S'/i. Nearly all the best manufacturing establish- ments in this line in America, and many in Europe, employ one or several of these presses. The range of work for which they are adapted covers nearly every kind of blank-cutting, punching, perforating, forming and bending, includin.g a large proportion of the operations needed in the manufacture of hardware, locks, cutlery, guns, sewing machines, type- writers, and many other articles made out of sheet metal. The Design of the Frame is such as to combine the greatest strength and rigidity with convenience for handling dies and material, besides admitting plenty of light on the work. The Pitman is made of steel instead of cast iron (as in most presses of this kind), and rests with its lower end on a solid seat worked in the slide. The Crank Pin runs in Gun Metal Bushings, which can be readily renewed at small expense. The " Stiles " Eccentric Adjustment is a specially valuable feature. It not only permits of rapid and very accurate adjustment, but transmits the pressure entirely through solid metal, instead of throwing it upon screw threads — a decided advantage for heavy work. It will be under- stood that by this device the stroke is not changed, but the punch is raised and lowered (according to the direction in which the disc is turned), to suit different thicknesses of dies. The Patent Graduated Adjustment marked to 1-100 of an inch on the eccentric disc, enables the operator to keep an exact record of the dies and set them without loss of time. By setting between the lines differ- ences much finer than the 1-100 inch can be observed. 59 The Stiles Automatic Clutch is simple, strong and reliable. It allows the shafts to be turned, for setting dies, while the wheel is in motion, without endangering the operator, it being impossible to start the, press by any accidental pressure upon the treadle while the slide is down. No screws to set up, no pins to adjust, no accidents through neglect ; the lock being self-acting. The wheel can also be turned back- ward to release a punch when "stuck" in the die, or in fitting punches to the die. The value of this feature is well known to those familiar with presses of this kind. In many cases we supply three clutch pins, arranged so as to lock at any one of three different points in each revolution, so that never more than one-third of a revolution can be lost between the depression of the treadle and the starting of the press shaft. As the wheel makes from 80 to 150 revolutions per minute, this makes the clutch practically instantaneous, and having three clutch pins, they will last three times as long. A "T" Slot is cast on the throat of the frame, to which strippers, gauges and other fixtures can easily be fastened in different positions. The Shafts are of forged steel, amply large to stand the heaviest strains without springing. The Fly-Wheels are of large diameters, and with wide faces in order tojgive a good belt pull in addition to the power resulting from their momentum. The Slides are well gibbed and carefully scraped to an accurate fit. The most delicate dies can be worked in them. Watch manufacturers whose dies are the most delicate employed in any trade, use the " Stiles" Press almost exclusively. A Treadle-Lock operated by foot, enables the operator to quickly fasten the treadle down, for continuous running, or up, to guard against starting the press by accident. The Positive Stop is a device to prevent a second stroke, even if the foot has not been removed from the treadle. It can easily be de- tached to give the regular clutch action when desired. The Adjustable Stroke makes it possible to change the movement of the slide from to I'/i inches, according to the size of press to which it is applied. The two last named devices are principally used by watch and clock makers, and are put on only when specially ordered, at an extra charge. Stay Rods for obviating the "spring" of the frame on very heavy work can be embodied in any of the "Stiles" Presses, if so ordered. The extra charge for this is $20.00 on the Nos. 0, 1, 2 and 3 Presses, and $25.00 on the Nos. 4 and 5. The No. o Press is frequently made with stay rods for embossing silver and Britannia napkin rings, castor bands, butter globes, etc., and in that case is furnished with two sets of Bolsters, one for flat and one for cylindrical work, with steel plates dovetailed in same at the price of $920.00. 60 STILES" POWER PUNCHING PRESS, NO. 4. ■aafttSs For PriLC anil DimLiiM jns s( r p i^c (i3 For Di^bcuptiun, see pages 5^5 and 59. 61 STILES" GEARED POWER PUNCHING PRESS No. 4. .. c.-i ^''iS *-"' sl"J"» till; KLiiur;il alvlc ami jpnuaraiicL- of the "Stiles," Geared Power Punching 'Presses Tos 2 3 4 and 5 D.mens.ons and Pnees, see page 65.''

The " Stiles " Eccentric Adjustment, as applied to the " Fowler " Presses. We offer the " Fowler " Press essentially unchanged as to general style and construction, but have increased the strength of its parts, the length of its bearings and redesigned the adjustment. The construction of this adjustment will be understood from the above cut. It can be brought into any needed position with great accuracy and dispatch by simply turning the pinion wrench shown, after having loosened the clamp bolt. The pressure is in this manner always taken on solid metal, instead of falling on screw threads, as in other presses. The clutch of the " Fowler " press can be made to work either auto- matically or to stop at will at any point of the stroke, by simply removing a lever located near the clutch block. We also furnish the " Fowler " presses with the regular '' Stiles " or " Bliss " clutch, if desired. For Prices and Dimensions, see page 80.

Li].;e the straight-sided presses, they are preferable to the " overhanging" tj'pes for heavy cutting and stamping, wherever the metal need not be fed from side to side, on account of their being less liable to uneven spring under heavy pressure. They are made with or without gearing, according to the work to be done.

This press is adapted for the use of silversmiths and manufacturers of cups, goblets, napkin-rings, lamp-wick tubes, cartridge shells, and other similar articles made of brass, German silver, etc. The mandrel, or slide, receives its motion from a pinion working in a rack on the back of the mandrel ; this pinion is connected with the driving pulleys by a train of gears, giving a proportionate speed of driv- ing pulleys to main pinion shaft of 118 to 1. It will draw tubes up to 15 inches in length. The length of the stroke is adjusted by means of the " dogs " on the mandrel (as shown in the cut), which operate similarly to the dogs on the bed of a planer. In addition to this adjustment, the lever shown on the right hand side of the press connects with the reversible apparatus, and enables the operator to stop, start or reverse the motion at any point of the stroke.

Illi'stratei) on Paof.s 119-135. Prices and Dimensions on page 121. For operating large cutting and forming dies, or gangs of punches and dies extending over a large area. Double Crank Presses, are decidedly preferable to the ordinary " single crank " type. The two pitmans are so connected that they arc always adjusted simultaneously, thus enabling the operator to quickly raise and lower the slide to suit the thickness of dies \vithout any danger of getting the guides out of alignment. These presses are made with "straight-sided" frames, as shown on pages 130-125, or with overhanging frames similar in style to the press shown on opposite page. The smaller sizes of these presses, up to and including the No. 4^:t, are frequently used as tly-wheel presses (see cut on pag-e 110), especially for operating, cutting and pcrfnrating dies in tin and other light sheet metals. In that shape they are furnished with our regular Automatic Clutch, which acts almost instantaneously in response to a pressure on the foot treadle. For heavy cutting and fi">rming it is best to use these pjresses with back gearing, as shown on [lages I'Jd-l^.'i. In connection with these back-geared presses we recommend the use of our new Automatic Friction Clutch which obviates the difficulties e.xperienced with the ordinary automatic clutches in presses of this class. The construction and application of this clutch will be understood from the cuts on pages 123, 124 and 125. Its action is practically instantaneous and it avoids entirely the severe shock which, in the regular clutches, tends to destroy the clutch parts, frequently causing expensive delays and repairs. The large gear wheel instead of revolving continually, as with the old clutches, is at a standstill until the clutch is brought into action. This constitutes an additional advantage in the saving of considerable wear. THE No. 3 PRESS is especially adapted for such work as forming and stamping panels, shingles, etc., besides cutting and perforating a large variety of work, PRESS No. s'2 i^ used for cutting- and forming shelves, drip pans, etc., and for cutting, punching and forming operations in large pieces of sheet iron and steel. THE LARGER PRESSES are used in the manufacture of sheet iron and steel goods, such as vapor stoves, wrought iron ranges, paneled ceiling and siding for buildings, cornice work, stove boards, etc., and for operating^ gangs of punches for rivet holes in tanks, water pipes, gasometers, kitchen boilers, etc. They may also be arranged for forg- ing purposes (see page 125) in the manufacture of hammers and similar articles requiring a series of dies set side by side. When intended fl^r [)unching holes in long strips of metal, openings are cored in tlie uprights. Tlie cr(;ss-head is guided in adjustable bearings, so that cutting and p^erforating dies, as well as ijthers requiring great accuracy of move- ment, may be operated. 119 BLISS" DOUBLE CRANK PRESS, NO. 2. i' ' \\\v\ Made with straight sides, as on page 130, or cut back, as shown above.

These presses are intended for the manufacture of such articles as hammers, axes, pick-axes, adzes, mattocks, hoes, etc. A series nf dies are set side by side and the article is forg'ed in one of several heats by passing it through from die to die. The slide can be quickly and accurately raised and lowered by means of an adjustment which is arranged to operate both crank connections simultaneously. The sizes mostly used are the Nos. 4;V, fi, l:>>^, T and 8 l,see page 1^1). They require some moditications in the dimensions and gearing to adapt them for the purpose. We send Prices, etc., on receipt of particulars concerning the requirements. 126 STILES" STRAIGHT-SIDED DOUBLE CRANK PRESSES, NOS. 91-97. The smaller and medium sizes of these presses, up to and including No. 95Jj, are furnished with the " Stiles " Eccen- tric Adjustment (pages 127 and I'v'S), which permits of easy and exact adjustment of the slide, and takes the pressure on solid metal all through. For the larger sizes, the style of adjust- ment shown on page 130 is preferable, mainly on account of its longer range. In either case both pitmans are adjusted simul- taneously so as to keep up the exact alignment. The wear of the bearings is taken up by the "Stiles" Friction Shoe, which leaves the frame solid and also contributes to plentiful lubrication. The geared Presses are made with either the Positive Automatic Clutch (see page 128), or with the Automatic Friction Clutch described on page 118, and shown on page 130. For all geared presses larger than the No. 95, we recommend the Auto- matic Friction Clutch in preference to the other style. In the 95^, 96J, 965 and 97 Presses, which are intended for operating very large and accurate cutting and perforating dies (for armature rings, for instance), we have abandoned the ordinary centre gib, making the ways as wide as the frame itself and nearly doubling their length. The cuts on page 127 and on page 130 show very well the additional solidity and accuracy due to this mode of construction.

In order to give a Arm support and accurate guidance to the large and delicate dies, the ordinarj' centre gib has been abandoned, and ways of much greater length and width substituted, as will be seen from the cuts on pages 127, 128B and 130. Another special feature is the application to the geared Presses of this type of a new automatic friction clutch which obviates the difficulties experienced with the positive automatic clutches on heavy back-geared Presses. Its application and construction will be under- stood from the cut on page 130. A pressure on the foot treadle shown releases a weight which actuates the powerful friction clutch on the back shaft, thus starting the Press almost instantaneously, and obviating entirely the severe shock, which in the positive clutches tends to destroy the parts and frequently causes expensive delays and repairs. xVfter the shaft has made one complete revolution a cam releases the friction clutch, throwing into action at the same time a brake, and thus stopping the slide at the highest point of the stroke. The large gear wheel, instead of revolving continually, is, with these new clutches, keyed on to the shaft and is at a standstill until the clutch is thrown into action. This constitutes an additional ad- vantage in the saving of considerable wear on the shaft and wheel hub. There is nothing about these clutches which is liable to get out of order, and for whatever wear ma}' be occasioned by continuous use, easy means of compensation are provided. FOR DIMENSIONS AND PRICES SEE PAGE 129. 128B No. 95>4A Armature Disc=Cuttinq Press With Positive " Knock-Outs" for Punch and Die. (Code Wohd : EONGIGATA 1 This Press is specially designed for cutting tlie entire armature disc (outside, in- side and notches) at one blow, and for that class of work is employed on discs up to 11 or 12 inches in diameter. Beyond that size it is usually furnished with hack gear- ing and sometimes with a body casting of steel instead ot cast-iron. It may, however, also be used for plain rings and in that case is designed to take in diameters up to 26 inches. It is also a useful machine for cutting the smaller sections for armatures of large generators, in which case the outside ot the sections and the holes in same are frequently punched simultaneously.

These presses are specially designed for manufacturers of shirts, col- lars, cuffs, hosiery, caps, hats, shoes, rubber goods, pocket-books, labels, envelopes, and a large variety of other articles of a similar nature. They work in connection with "hollow cutters." With one of these machines a comparatively unskilled person can do more and better work than a large number of ski lied cutters could do in the same time by the old method. These presses are made up in a variety of sizes and with any length of stroke required. They are all provided with the "Stiles" Eccentric Ad- justment, by means of which both pitmans are adjusted simultaneously, so that the slide can never be out of true. These presses work rapidly, and are generally provided with the ".Stiles" Automatic Clutch, which always stops the slide exactly at the top of the stroke as soon as the press- ure on the foot treadle is released. Clutches for stopping the motion at any point of the stroke are furnished if desired.

These presses are specially designed for operating narrow dies of great length requiring considerable power, such as gang punching dies for boilers and tanks, riveting dies for mower knife bars, corrugating and forming tools, etc. The No. 10 will easily punch at one stroke the 96 5-16-inch holes in the edge of kitchen boilers 72 inches long, the thickness of the iron being No. 10. The No. 11}4 machine will punch 150 j-4-inch holes through ^-inch iron. The slide adjustment is effected by means of a patented device which is specially adapted to withstand heavy strains. The driving shaft has our new Automatic Friction Clutch. This clutch is thrown into oper- ation by depressing the foot treadle. When the crank-shaft has made one revolution the clutch is automatically thrown out and a brake applied, thus stopping the machine. This device obviates the difficulties which hitherto have seemed inseparable from the action of clutches on heavy back-geared presses. The standard dimensions (page 139) can be considerably modified to suit special requirements. The Cam-Stripper frequently used in connection with these machines permits the use of much shorter and therefore more durable punches than can be employed with stationary strippers. This stripper comes down upon the metal, straightening it out before, and holding it straight during the punching. After the stripping it moves up with the punches. The steel backing for the punches and the front support of the stripper plate are made in sections which can be easily displaced to put in new punches. _^f.^-*_ «;5^N:'-r fs 1 ■'Mil*s|, SFXTION SHOWING CAM-STRIPPER. ]3« BLISS" GANG OR MULTIPLE PUNCH, NO. 10.

This cut shows the general style and appearance of the Power Strue Cutters, Nos. 170, 171, 173 and 173. The cutters can also be set at right angles to those shown in cut, the holders being so made that they will answer for either position. 141 "STILES" BRASS FOUNDERS' SPRUE CUTTERS, NOS. 170, 171, 172 AND 173. These machines are especially designed to meet the requirements of brass founders and mantifacturers of other soft metal castings. The operator has both hands free to guide the castings, as the cutters operate in response to a slight pressure on the foot treadle, stopping automati- cally at the highest point of the stroke. This allows for the time re- quired for getting the casting in position for the next cut. The frame is so designed as to offer no obstruction, so that long castings, whether set square or at an angle to the main gate, can be cut off as readily and as perfectly as those of smaller dimensions. In other machines now in use the cutters require to be fitted by a machinist, the stem forged and turned to fit the machine, and when but little used must be replaced by new ones. For our machines the cutters are simply cut off from a bar of tool-steel of the requisite section, the upper part being ground to a bevel edge which can be done by any laborer on a grindstone. They can be used up almost to the last inch by setting up the screw adjustments. These adjustments permit of so setting the cutters that they will just cut off the gate without touching each other, thus preserving the keenness of the edges effectually. The cutters can be set as shown in illustration on opposite page or at right angles to that position, as may be desired. Number of Machine^" stiles ' Price. . . .

We apply tliis Automatic Roller Feed tu any ol the various styles and sizes of our " Stiles " Power Presses. The advantage of a Double Roll Feed is that it insures the cuttitijj of the -whole strip uf metal without av a ste, either at the end or at the beginning- of the strip. The feed motion is very carefully and accurately made in all its parts, and can be readily adjusted to suit -work of different kinds. The pressure of the upper feed rolls can be regulated, or entirely released by means of handles, which, through eccentric scrolls, raise or lower the journals of these rollers.

For perforating very heavy sheets, or where but a small quantity of the same pattern or design of perforating is wanted, it does not generally pay to make dies for the entire width of the sheet, such as are operated in the presses described on page 163, which finish the whole sheet in once passing through. The machine illustrated on opposite page is designed for work of this kind, and, as a general jobbing press, is acknowledged to be without an equal. The sheet is clamped on a very accurate sliding table, and is automatically fed under the slide, which carries from 1 to .50 punches, according to the design or quantity of perforating to be done. The Feed Table is worked with automatic feeds and quick return motion. The operator is within easy reach of all the levers, treadles and adjusting wheels, and has perfect control of every movement of the machine. The press itself is provided with the "Stiles" Eccentric Adjustment, the Adjustable Stroke, and other valuable features described on pages .58 and 59. Sheets varying in width from 4 to 50 inches, and in length from 1 to 10 feet, can be punched on this machine. It will punch an inch hole through ^./-inch iron or its equivalent in smaller holes.

The frequent and radical improvements which we have been making in Drawing Presses during the past few years have revolutionized their construction. We have now brought them to a high state of efficiencj', which leaves further improvement attainable in minor details only. In the matter of weight and strength of parts, we have increased them until each press as now constructed is equal to the next larger size as formerly built. Tlie most important change, however, is the perfecting of an arrangement for operating the blank-holder by means of toggles, which entirely dispense with cams of any description. According to size of the press, one or two rock shafts are used to which the blank- holder slide is connected by means of toggle links. These rock shafts are operated from the main shaft, by a peculiar system of link work, which imparts, through the blank-holder, a much more uniform pressure to the blank than can be maintained in "Cam" Drawing Presses. The strain arising from the pressure put upon the blank is transferred through the straightened toggles directly to the frame of the press, instead of falling on the main shaft, thus relieving entirely the bearings from all friction and wear due to the blank holding. Better and smoother work, with fewer wasters, greater durability, and less consumption of power, are the principal advantages gained through our Toggle movement. The main frame, of all sizes up to and including No. 5, is made of a single casting, thus imparting great strength and rigidity to the whole structure, The main shaft is of forged steel, with a crank slotted out to operate the plunger. This plunger is guided on the inside of the blank-holder slide and connected to the crank by a pitman with steel adjusting screw, provided with a simple device which permits of quickly adjusting same. The adjustment of the blank-holder is made by means of screws, as plainly shown in the illustrations. In the smaller sizes fup to and including No. V.H) we use the regular autrimatic clutch; For the Nos. 1, 1/^ and H/^^ we recommend the use of our new Automatic Friction Clutch, which obviates entirely the difficulties experienced with the regular automatic clutches in heavy back-geared Power Presses. The construction and application of this clutch will be understood from the cut on page 170. Its action is practically instantaneous, and it avoids entirely the heavy shock which in the regular clutches tends to destroy the clutch parts, frequently causing expensive delays and repairs. The large gear wheel, instead of revolv- ing continually is, with these new clutches, keyed on to the shaft and at a standstill until the clutch is brought into action. This constitutes an additional advantage, in the saving of considerable wear. Otherwise the clutch acts as usual, causing the shaft to make one revolution and stop automatically at the highest point of the stroke. In the larger sizes, power is communicated to the back shaft through a powerful friction clutch, which, in connection with an automatic brake, places the movements of the press entirely under the control of the operator, so that the press can be stopped and started instantly at any point of the stroke. Actual use has demonstrated that for drawing all kinds of sheet metal these machines are vastly superior to any others built for the purpose, 173 DIRECTIONS FOR SETTING DRAWING DIES AND ADJUSTING DRAWING PRESSES. Place the belt on the loose pulley, and during the setting of the die and adjustment of the press operate the press by hand. Secure the drawing punch in the mandrel, and place the die on the bed of the press. Turn the shaft, and bring down the drawing punch into the die until it bears in the bottom ; this will centre the die. Clamp the die securely to the bed of the press, set the adjustment screw in the connection so that the crank will just pass the lower centre with the punch bearing in the bottom of the die : turn the adjustment screw back one-half turn for clearance, and tighten the jam nut ; continue the revolution of the shaft until the crank is at its highest point. Place the blank-holder upon the die, turn the shaft until the outer mandrel nearly rests upon the blank-holder, see that the bolt holes in the blank-holder and those in the flange of the mandrel coincide ; turn the shaft until the mandrel rests upon the blank-holder; now bolt the blank-holder fast to the mandrel; loosen the nuts on the adjustment screws, and continue the revolution of the shaft until the crank is again at the lowest point; screw up the lower adjustment nuts with the hand until they bear against the mandrel or the yoke, as the case may be ; screw down the upper adjustment nuts until they bear, and then give them each a turn of the wrench to bind them, putting as near as pos- sible the same strain upon each nut. Carefully lengthen the connection of the inner mandrel until the drawing punch enters the die the full depth necessary for the work ; see that all bolts and nuts are tight. The die is now ready for trial ; place the blank upon the die, start the press, and let it make one revolution. Before taking out the drawn blank notice its position in the die, and make a mark upon that part of it nearest the front of the press. If the metal is broken, it is probable that the blank-holder either bears too hard on all sides, or that it bears harder on one side than the other. If the margin or flange is wrinkled, and the wrinkles extend uniformly all around the edge, the pressure of the blank-holder is insufficient; should the flange be wrinkled on one side more than another, the pressure of the blank-holder is greater on one side than the other. Duly noticing these points, correct them by means of the adjustment screws, keeping in mind that the pressure should be equal on all sides, and that it should be only sufficient to prevent wrinkling of the flange, and taking care that all the adjustment nuts are screwed up firmly before starting the press; repeat the trials and corrections until a satisfactory result is obtained. 174 STILES" TOGGLE DOUBLE-ACTION PRESS, NO. 182.

The application to these presses of our Patent Toggle Movement has greatly increased their simplicity, durability and smoothness of action as compared with the old style Cam Presses. Less friction and wear, less consumption of power and a more perfect dwell of the blank- holder are the principal points of superiority. Another important point in these presses is the ease and accuracy with which the blank-holder can be adjusted so as to bear evenly all around the blank, without " packing" the dies. (See page 174.) For this purpose the blank-holder plate proper (E) is supported by three or four large screws, which can be adjusted separately, without any tendency or cramping the movement of the slide in its guides. The conical split nuts (C) adjust themselves to any slight angularity in the position of the screws which may become necessary in order to produce an even pressure all around. These presses are specially adapted for making blacking-boxes, bak- ing-powder tops, lard-pail covers, round, oval, square and oblong tin boxes for chemicals, powders, tobacco, etc., burners, lantern parts, gas fixtures, curtain-pole ends, sleigh and gong bells, cane heads, ferrules, cartridge shells, etc., etc. Not Geared.

This cut represents also the No. 5 Drawing Press, which is exactly analogous in its construction, only considerably heavier. For Prices and Dimensions, see page 183. 183 "BLISS" TOGGLE-DRAWING PRESSES, NOS. 4 AND 5. The application to these presses of our Patent Toggle novement has greatly increased their simplicity, durability and smoothness of action. This toggle movement insures a much more perfect " dwell " of the blank-holder slide than can be maintained in "Cam" Drawing Presses, and effects a large saving in friction and power. These presses are double geared, and are provided with a powerful friction clutch on the back shaft, by means of which the movement of the slides is under the perfect control of the operator, enabling him to stop or start same instantly at any point of the up or down stroke. The main frame is made of a single casting, thus securing great rigidity and compactness. An automatic device, not shown in cut, is attached for lifting work out of the die. PRESS No, 4 is capable of drawing nearly every article usually drawn in a tinware factory, up to 20 inches in diameter by 6 inches in depth, including 21-quart and smaller dishpans, all sizes of milk and pudding pans, saucepans and preserve kettles, wash bowls, trays, large tea kettle bodies, with breast or pit, round and oblong boiler pits and covers, scoops, straight buckets, dippers, trimmings for water-coolers, water-carriers, toilet jars, etc. Black iron and steel used in the manufacture of enameled ware, oil-stove founts, lamp founts, fry-pans, dripping-pans, etc., is also drawn in this press to good advantage. PRESS No. s.— The range of work that may be drawn in this press is very great, embracing almost everything drawn in tin plate, up to and including 30-quart dishpans.

This press is specially designed for drawing articles of paper or straw-board, such as paper globes, butter dishes, toy helmets, fancy placques, plates, etc. The paper has to be of the proper toughness, and is usually moist- ened before working. The pressure of the blank-holder is regulated by the long levers and the pendant weights. The upper die remains station- ary during the operation, and is adjusted, in regard to position and press- ure required, by the large screw and nut shown at the top of the press. The press is also frequently used without the blank-holder for em- bossing and stamping purposes. It will be understood that the slide carrying the dies, which are heated by steam, has a long "dwell" at the highest point of the stroke, causing the article to assume a permanent shape under the action of a steady pressure and heat.

These drop presses are designed for stamping or embossing and paneling large sheets such as are used by cornice and ceiling makers. The housings are fastened to the bed by means of T slots, allowing them to be adjusted to receive a narrower hammer. In order to attain the large dimensions needed for the hammer without too greatly increasing its weight, it is made of cast steel, thus giving the necessary strength. Owing to the peculiar nature of the work to be done, which consists in "coaxing" the metal into the die — that is, striking a succession of very light blows in order to gradually force the metal down, and then finishing with the full force of the hammer — it is necessary to raise the latter by means of a belt passing over a pulley revolved by power, the slack end being handled by the operator. Experience has shown that this is a more satisfactory arrangement for this class of work than any auto- matic lift, as the latter is not controllable with sufficient accuracy. We frequently furnish with these hammers a lifting drum, designed to be kept cool by running water through it on the inside. This has proved a very simple and efficacious way of keeping the lifting drum from heating. Will take dies up to ins.' 24x28 ] 28x28 Price Weight Distance between housings.

This permits of a much finer adjustment than can be obtained where the hammer is caught by a stop limited in position to the holes located at fixed distances in one of the uprights. It also dispenses with the skill and delay required for con- necting and disconnecting the treadle in relation to the stop every time a change of stroke is required. (3) Instead of the usual stop for holding up the hammer, we use the clamps shown beneath the lifting rolls. The action of these clamps in holding the hammer centrally obviates entirely the side blow and shock which results from catching the hammer on a stop fastened to one uf the uprights. This removes one of the principal causes of broken uprights and uneven wear of the guides. The clamps are mounted on a separate frame which is free to adapt itself to any crookedness or winding in the board, and can be quickly adjusted for different thicknesses. The clamps, in holding up the hammer, keep the board from touching either roll, and prevent the same from being worn uneven when not in use. (3) The hammer can be almost instantly stopped at any point of the down stroke by letting go of the foot treadle. (4) By depressing the foot treadle lightly the hammer can be made to descend as slowly as may be desired. This is a great convenience in setting dies and gives the operator full control over the machine at all times. (5) Variable blows can be given by working the hand or foot lever. (6) The rebound can always be caught in the proper manner, what- ever the thickness of the dies, by adjusting the lower collar on the upright rod to suit. (7) By depressing the foot treadle and letting go of it after the blow is given the hammer will automatically stop at the height from which it is set to fall. (8) If continuous blows are desired it is only necessary to keep the treadle depressed. No need of a treadle movement for each separate blow as in other hammers. (9) The gears which ccmnect the friction rolls are made of steel and separate from the rolls so that they can be easily replaced if necessary. The shape of the teeth is such as to give the greatest possible strength. (10) The principal nuts and bolt heads are held in place by spring pins as shown, instead of the ordinary jam nuts, thus making it impos- sible for them to jar loose. 211 SECTION OF GEARED LIFTER.

For light drops, it will do very well to put a large flat stone under the bottom of the log and fill in with dirt, well stamped down. Now adze the top of the log level ; then make a depression in the centre of the surface, about six inches square and two inches deep, with a groove about one inch wide, leading to the edge of the block, to allow the scales and dirt to pass off, and not to get under the drop to make it rock or be unsteady. When, because of the size of the drop, or for other reasons, a log cannot be obtained large enough to put it on, take timbers, say one foot square, and bolt enough of them together to make it of suitable size, when set up on end, to receive the drop. Grout and fill in in the same manner as for the log. Chestnut and oak are the best. If only a rock or stone foundation can be had, place about one-half inch of rubber under the bottom of the drop. There is danger of getting a foundation too solid for a drop. There should be some elasticity, and when set on a log or timber the desired effect is obtained ; and when placed upon stone the rubber is sufficient. A suitable foundation having- now been obtained, and tlie drop fastened to the same, on a line with a shaft that is to drive it, brace the drop at the top by rods, one end of which can be secured to the building, and the other to the lifter, in holes provided for the purpose. STEAM DROP HANIIVIER, With Poppets for Sheet Metal Stamping. 219 STEAM DROP HAMMER, With Poppets for Sheet Metal Stamping. This machine is specially designed for heavy sheet metal stamping. It embodies several novel features which will be readily understood from the illustration. The weight of the piston, piston rod and hammer, which aggregate about 3,000 pounds, in addition to a "force" punch, which may weigh as mucli more, are lifted by the direct action of steam. The steam cylinder has a bore of 16 inches diameter, is single acting, giving a dead stroke of 34 inches when the hammer is released. A valve of the piston type controls the movement and is operated by a hand lever as shown. When not in actual use the hammer rests on a latch in the right hand housing, which is so connected with the valve lever as to be moved out of the way when the hammer is intended to fall. The piston and piston rod are forged of a single steel billet, and the lower end of rod, which is 7 inches in diameter, is turned slightly taper and keyed into the forged iron hammer head. Four large bolts, provided with rubber washers under the nuts to prevent same from jarring loose, secure each housing to the bed of press. The screws by which the housings are adjusted laterally to take up the wear of hammer pass through wrought iron poppets let into the bed in same manner as are the die poppets. The piston is prevented from strik- ing the cylinder head on the up stroke by a very efficient steam cushion. We are prepared to supply other sizes of steam drops and will quote prices on application. Price Weight of hammer lbs. Weight of bed lbs. Weight, complete lbs. Bore of c)dinder ins.

In addition to e.xtra weight and accuracy these shears have several valuable features, viz.; The knife and treadle are balanced by an adjus- table counterweight; the treadle spring being thus relieved of the weights of those parts, their only duty is to quicken the return movement of the knife; they have but a short motion and are furnished with adjusting nuts to regulate the pressure. This arrangement gives great ease of movement, and the annoyance of strained or broken springs is avoided. In addition to the usual scale of inches engraved upon the table, similar scales are put upon the arms that support the back gauge ; this gauge has also a rack and pinion adjustment that will be found very convenient. These shears are very heavy and substantial, and are especially valuable for cutting black iron, 2S1 POWER SQUARING SHEARS. NOS. 310, 312, 313, 314 and 315. Medium Weight. The above cut represents our " Meuiu.m Weight " power squaring shear, intended for cutting sheet metals, not exceeding No. 18 Stubs gauge in thickness.

No expense is spared in their manufacture to make them convenient, accurate, and dura- ble. The blades can be easily removed for grinding, and the upper one can be set to whatever shearmg angle — between straight and one inch shear — may best suit the case in hand. The lower bearings in the connecting rods are bronze bushed. Front and back gauges, set by scale in inches marked on table and gauge arms are furnished with the machines. Spring-press- ure plates to hold the sheet down while being cut are furnished when ordered. We make five sizes to cut 24, IJd, oG, 4'i and 4S inches wide, up to ^ inch thick. The blades are ^ inch thick by 4 inches wide. The distance from lower blade to back gauge at its greatest distance is 12 inches (special, if ordered, 24 inches).

These shears are from new i)atLeriis, and are made in three Icnsths, <5, 8 and 10 feet. The>- are especially desiKoeci for cornice work, Ijut are e(iually valuable for other lines of manufacture requiring a first-class shear for cuttinj^ sheet metal up to No. 12 stub .gauj^e in thickness. The table and front gauge arms are provided with T slots extending close up to the blades. In addition to the front gauge, end gauges are provided for squaring sheets ; also an angle gauge on left side of table. The table is graduated from both sets of gau.ges. An adjustable back gauge is attached to the cutter bar, and is so arranged that it may be accurately and quickly adjusted from the front by means of the hand wheel shown in cut. The automatic clamping bar, operated by cams on the crank-shaft, and adjustable for different thicknesses of metal, is provided with three openings, so the operator can easily see the cuttin.g lines on sheets. The driving pulleys on back shaft are '.!0 inches diameter by 5 inches face. The lialance wheel is 30 inches diameter b\' o', inches face, and wei.ghs ■V)0 lbs. The gear on crank shaft is '4(i inches diameter, and the proportion of speed of back shaft to the crank is 6 to 1. Our new patent clutching tle\'ice is used to lock the gear to the crank shaft, and after each stroke the cutter bar remains up, but by keeping the treadle down it may be run continuously.

This machine is adapted for use in sheet iron, steel, Ijrass and copper rolling mills. It will trim single sheets or packs up to % inch in thick- ness. The back shaft and spur gear are allowed to run continuously. The spur gear is automatically locked to the crank-shaft by depressing the treadle. The clutch is of forged steel. Motion is communicated directly to the cutter bar from the crank-shaft, which likewise is of forged steel. The crank-shaft also carries two cams for automatically working the adjustable clamping bar which serves to hold the sheets while the cut is being made. The blades are each in one piece, are carefully hardened and ac- curately ground. The cutter bar and table are both heavily ribbed to prevent springing, and are so arranged that the blades may be easily ad- justed when worn. The table has T slots (not shown in cut) extending across from front to back and from right to left. The gauge arms slide along the front of the table on do\'etailed ways, instead of being bolted, as shown in the cut. When so ordered this shear is arranged to be driven by an independ- ent engine attached to the housing. For this a special price is charged.

This shear is adapted for trimming and squaring sheet iron and steel, in sheets or in packs up to ^'s of inch in thickness and 10 feet 4 inches in length. The blades are each made of a single piece and are carefully hardened and ground, There is an overhang, or throat, in the hous- ings so that a sheet or pack of greater length than the blades may be trimmed by moving it along and taking successive cuts. The gauges are so arranged that the continued cut will be straight and in a line with the first. The gap, or overhang, is sufficient to allow of a plate, or pack, 36 inches wide being sheared lengthwise through the middle. There is an automatic clamp directly in front of the upper blade, which descends in advance of the blade and remains firmly pressed against the work until the cut is completed. It releases automatically as soon as the cut is made. The clamping device is operated from a cam on the end of the main shaft, which imparts motion to a rock-shaft, across the top of the machine. Two levers on the rock-shaft give motion to the clamping bar by means of two connections arranged with suitable adjust- ing screws to regulate the pressure upon the work. The main shaft is of billet steel &}4 inches in diameter, with the two cranks for operating the cutter bar forged and slotted out. The shear is driven by a five foot gear to which a powerful clutch is attached operated by the foot treadle. The gear revolves continuously and freely upon the shaft until the treadle is depressed, when the shaft makes one revolu- tion, performing its work, and stops with the cranks at the upper position. The machine is driven either by belt from line shaft or, as shown in the engraving, by an independent engine attached to the housing. The engine employed is of the plain slide valve pattern with throttle gov- ernor, and is designed with special view to simplicity and compactness, so as not to require much attention, and with strength and durability of parts to avoid frequent repairs.

The shear shown on opposite page is adapted for cutting plates and packs of sheet iron and steel from '4 inch up to 1 inch in thickness, accord- ing to the size of the machine, as set forth in the table below. The novel feature is the means of starting and stopping the machine. Instead of putting the ordinar)- automatic clutch on the main shaft, the back shaft is supplied with a friction clutch, which, in connection with a brake, is auto- matically operated so as to cause the cutting bar to always stop at the lop of the stroke after a complete revolution of the main shaft. The action of this clutch in response to pressure on the foot treadle is practically instantaneous and it obviates the severe concussion of the clutch parts, which, in starting heavy machinery by means of the usual clutch, has been found so objectionable. Immediateh' in front of the cutting blade is a clamping bar, which, when the machine is started, descends automatically and securely holds the work in place while the shearing is in progress. The machine is .geared about 20 to 1 and is driven bv an engine of the plain slide-valve variety attached to the housing. The crank shaft is of hammered steel with cranks forged solid and slotted out. In order to compensate for wear of blades the lower one is supported on a long wedge. By setting up on this the cutting ed.ge of the blade is kept level with the table. The upper blade is adjusted by lowering the cutter bodily. The shear is made with blades from G to 10 feet in length, as noted in the table of dimensions and prices. Number. Length of Depth "f 1 Cut. 1 Throat, Weight. I Thickness to | Price. 479 ft. i; in.

The Lever and Pendulum Presses shown on the foUovving pages are adapted to a very wide range of sheet metal work. The operations for which they are adapted include cutting, punching, forming, etc. A num- ber of the articles which can be made on them are specified in the description of the several presses. Particular attention is directed to the length of the slides, and to the adjustable gibs, which compensate for wear. The lever working in the centre of the slide on steel surfaces reduces the friction to a minimum, and gives a steadiness of motion which adds greatly to the durability of the dies. DIRECTIONS FOR SETTING UP LEVER AND PENDULUM PRESSES AND SETTING DIES. Level the press and fasten securely. Work the treadle with the foot to ascertain that the slide or mandrel works sufficiently tight to prevent any variation, and, if not, regulate it by adjusting the gib screws. Secure the punch in the slide or mandrel and place the die on the bolster plate; then with the hands raise the die until the punch enters it; press the treadle with the foot until the die rests on the bolster plate. Tighten slightly the bolster bolts and fasten the die securely to the bolster; carefully raise the punch and lower it into the die to be sure that all is right. See that all bolts are fully tightened. Shorten or lengthen the stroke of the slide by adjusting the pins in the lever, treadle and con- nection until the punch enters the die far enough to do the work required. 360 ROUND MANDREL PENDULUIVI PRESS, NO.: 00. — ^^ISiP^~ The above cut represents one of the many small Pendulum and Lever Presses for which we have the patterns, but which are not shown in this catalogue.

NO. 157. The engraving on opposite page shows a machine for closing the top and bottom seams on sc|uare cans after they have been passed through the squeezer. (Pages 286 & 287.) The can is firmly held between two discs made to exactly fit the can heads, the upper disc being mounted on a vertical shaft fastened rigidly to the upper part of the main frame and the lower disc to a shaft passing through the lower part of the frame, and prevented from turning by an arm running in guides, but capable of vertical motion imparted to it by a cam on the treadle shaft. The steel rolls which operate on the seams at the top and bottom are carried by a frame which rotates upon the upper and lower stationary shafts and around the can. These rolls are mounted on levers pivoted in the rotating frame, the opposite ends of the levers being furnished with rolls bearing against star shaped stationary cams on the two vertical shafts, which give the in and out motion required in passing around the corners of square cans. The rotating frame carries two sets of these rolls, which press on oppo- site sides of the can at both the top and bottom, thus equalizing the side pressure and rolling the seams more perfectly than would be possible by the use of a single set of rolls. each seam being rolled twice in one revolution. There are additional cams provided, which, as the machine comes to a rest, move the roll outward from the surface of the can, so the latter may be removed from the machine. Attached to the bottom of the rotating frame is a bevel gear meshing into a pinion on the pulley shaft. The pulley is provided with a friction clutch controlled by the treadle, A can being placed upon the lower disc and the foot pressed upon the treadle, the can is raised and clamped firmly between the upper and lower discs. The clutch is now thrown in, and the roller frame makes one revolution around the can, the latter remaining stationary. After completing one revolution the clutch is automatically released, the rolls, are thrown outward, and the lower disc drops leaving the can free to be removed. The capacity of this machine is from lo.ooo to 12,000 5-gallon cans in 10 hours, and the saving in solder by its use amounts to from $15 to $18 per day. Price Total weight lbs.

The above cut represents our Gas Fire-Pot, which has been in exten- sive use for several years with the best of satisfaction. It is made of a single casting, with a sheet steel bottom plate that can be easily removed when desired. (As now made the gas and air pipes come in from the sides instead of the back as shown.) It burns ordinary illuminating gas. Steam or other power is required to drive the blower which supplies the air. One of the stop cocks should be connected with the gas service pipe and the other with a tin tube lead- ing from the blower. The supply of gas and air should be regulated by the stop cocks so as to produce a blue flame. Two burners are used, giving an intense heat, and, as they are situated directly over the cop- pers, they can never become stopped with solder, as sometimes happens when they are situated under the coppers. Size of opening is : 'S ins. high by -i'^ ins. wide. It has several advantages, among which are : Economy; Saving insurance, there being no dan;;cr of setting fire to the building; saving in fuel, as the gas costs much less than charcoal; saving in time of starting, and no time lost in caring for the fire ; the coppers are heated quicker and more perfectly than with charcoal. Cleanliness: It makes no smoke, dust nor ashes, and requires no room for storage of fuel. Price, each. Weight.

The old method of heating" coppers by means of charcoal burned in a fire-pot has, on account of its uncleanliness, its expense in labor and fuel, and the danger from fire inci- dent to its use, been very objectionable. Numerous devices have been offered to effect the desired end. The use of coke in some places has been found to work more satisfactorily than charcoal. Both coal gas and gaso- line have been used with some success. It has also been attempted, with the aid of a Bunscn burner, to heat the tip continuously with gas supplied to it through a flexible tube. These plans have not, however, altogether given satisfacti'"in ; the objections to them have been met, and the difficulties overcome, by the invention which we illustrate. The gen era] construction will be understood by reference to the cut. The copper tip. A, is made of any required size, weight or shape, and has a hollow chamber in the base, about 1 ^3 inches deep by 1 inch in diameter, with three inward pro- jections, (t, G, G : into these is firmly screwed the plug, F. The tip. A, is fastened into Ihe shield, B, by means of a set screw, and when the copper is worn out it can be removed to be replaced by a new one by simply loosening the screw. The handle tube, C, is fas- tened permanently into the shield, B, and extends through the plug, into the tip, about ,V an inch. At the handle end it is ccmnected with the fuel supply by a flexible tube of any required length. For ordinary bench work it is about 3 feet long. Gas and air are sup- plied through main pipes, passing under the bench fr»r convenience, or the former may be taken from the pipe used to furnish gas for lighting the shop. The air pipe may be of tin, which is much cheaper than iron, and answers every purpose, as the pressure on it is prac- tically nothing. This tin pipe ought to be ."i or 4 inches in diameter, and long enough to act as a reservoir for equalizing the pressure. A steady pressure of air is furnished by a fan or blower.

Illustrated on Page 332. This machine is intended for removing paint, oil, etc., from the out- side of filled cans, leaving them clean and bright, ready for the labels. Unless thoroughly cleaned before labels are attached they do not adhere closely to the can ; consequently many are rubbed off in handling or get more or less marred, presenting a much less attractive appearance on the shelves. The operation of the machine may be briefly described as follows ; The driving pulley runs free on the upright spindle of ma- chine. A can is placed in position on the receiving head, the treadle is depressed, connecting the spindle with the pulley by a friction clutch and causing the spindle and head to revolve. Two weighted levers on under side of revolving head are connected with the jaws and pivoted in such position that, in revolving, the weighted levers are thrown outward and the jaws moved toward the centre, firmly clamping the can. Both hands of the operator are free to handle the cans and do the polishing. When the treadle is released the clutch is thrown out and a brake applied, stop- ping the motion of head. The jaws are adjustable to take cans from 1 '4 to 5 inches in diameter. 3,000 or more cans, according to size and con- dition and expertness of the operator, can be polished per day.

The Can Cleansing Machine illustrated on the opposite page is adapted to cleanse the outside of cans filled with fish, fruit or vegetables. The cans are clamped between the chucks by depressing the foot treadle, which also brings the revolving brush into contact with the periphery of the can, and applies a stream of water to the surface of the brush. When the treadle is released the flow of water ceases, the brush moves back from the can, and the lower chuck drops, allowing the can to be removed. These motions are all automatic. The speed of the back shaft is 250 revolutions per minute, which gives a speed of 500 revolutions per minute to the brush, and half that speed to the can chucks; but as the diameter of the brush is more than twice the diameter of the can, the actual travel of their respective surfaces is about 4>^ to 1. The automatic action allows no waste of water, and the shell sur- rounding the brush prevents the water from being thrown on the operator. The machine will clean cans as fast as they can be handled. From forty to sixty cans per minute can be cleaned by a competent operator. A table should be built up level with the lowest point reached by the bottom chuck to facilitate handling, and a waste pipe provided to carry off the water.

The machine illustrated on opposite page has proved itself a most valuable one for die work, as well as for much work of a general character hitherto done on planing and shaping machines, turning out better work and doing it much more rapidly than by other methods. Three sizes are made, which are suited to a very large range of work. Circular, longitudinal and cross feeds are provided, the latter being automatic, and having four to five changes of speed, according to size of machine. The head, which carries the spindle, has long, adjustable bearings, is adjustable as to height, and is counter balanced. The spindle itself is of large diameter, is provided with vertical adjustments to keep up the wear, and is equally well suited for operating side, bottom, and facing cutters. A small blower is attached to keep the cutter clear of chips. Number of Hachine. Size Price Weight lbs. Length of head ins, Adjustment of head ins. Distance from centre spindle to back of throat ins.

DOUBLE SPINDLE MILLING MACHINE, NO. 221. 389 TWO-SPINDLE MILLING MACHINES, NOS. 220 AND 221. It will be noticed that the general arrangement of these machines is like that of a planer, but that in place of the ordinary planer heads they carry vertical spindles for butt milling. The longitudinal travel of the table is effected by means of a screw which may be operated by hand or power in either direction. This table feed has six changes of speed (for each cutter speed), besides a power "rapid transit" motion to run the table in either direction. The quick motion is especially intended for running the table back after the cut is finished. It is entirely independent of the regular feed, and either can be operated without stopping the other. The cross-head is raised and lowered by power, in addition to which each spindle has an independent vertical adjustment of 2 inches. Each spindle is carried in a separate saddle with independent lateral motion, actuated by either hand or power feed. The power feed has six changes of speed. The hand feed is manipulated by means of the wheels shown on the saddles. It is independent of the power feed, so that the saddles can be moved in any desirable way while the power feed is in operation. The cross-head is made of sufficient length to permit of run- ning the saddles out far enough to bring the milling cutters outside of the housings. The milling cutters can be run at eight different speeds in the larger machine and four in the smaller. By operating the two spindles and using special appliances for hold- ing and setting the work, one of these milling machines is in many cases now doing work which formerly required the use of five planers.

These machines are built from entirely new designs, and are es- pecially valuable for heavy work, though convenient for general shop use. By their use holes may be bored parallel to each other without re- setting the work or traveling same during the process of boring. The table is moved to bring the work in position by a rack and a pinion driven by power. The steel spindle carrying the boring bar is of large diameter and has a longitudinal feed of 24 and 38 inches for the two sizes respectively. It is carried by a head with long vertical adjustment upon a strong up- right securely attached to the bed, and the cutter end of the bar is sup- ported through a bush carried by the tail block upon a similar upright on the left side of machine. The head and tail blocks are raised and lowered together by means of screws shown, which are driven by power. To compensate for any possible variation in the two vertical adjusting screws, a slight inde- pendent adjustment is provided in the tail block, so as to bring the bor- ing bar perfectly true with the bed. The driving cone pulley has four steps, and a heavy back gear is attached to the spindle, giving eight speeds for the bar. The spindle is fed forward by a rack and a pinion connected with worm gear having four changes of speed and may be run back quickly by hand. The main spindle is driven directly by a belt from the floor shaft, and the head may be raised or lowered without changing the length of the belt.

They can be made in almost any size and shape for cutting out flat blanks in tin, brass, copper, zinc, silver, paper, leather cloth, etc. Ordinarily, the lower die is hardened and tempered to a degree best suited for the work, while the punch is left comparatively soft, so that it can be " hammered " up, when worn. Sometimes, as in the case of playing-card dies, it is preferable to reverse this and make the punch hard, leaving the die soft. Circumstances determine whether any, or how much shear shall be given to the cutting edge. For ordinary work in tin, brass, etc., a moderate amount of shear, is desirable. Our dies are made with the utmost care, of materials specially adapted for the purpose, and by experienced and skillful workmen. Ordinarily, the steel cutting rings are welded to wrought-iron plates, after which they are hardened, care- fully tempered, and ground on special machinery. In some cases it is preferable to fasten the steel dies in cast-iron chucks or die-beds by means of keys or screws. This applies more particularly to small dies. Our cutting dies can be made to fit any size and style of press, either our own or other makes. For cutting thick iron, steel, brass, and other heavy metals, both the die and punch should be hard, and provided with strippers, which adds to the cost of the dies. The prices given on this and on following pages include ordinary gauges, but no strippers, which latter, if needed, are charged for extra. Rules for Approximating the Prices of Cutting Dies. With 16 to 40 inches circumference. For Square and Oblong Dies, add to the circumference in inches. Ordinary Section Cutting Dies, multiply circumference in inches by and add Large Irregular Shape Cutting Dies. (See page 357, and figs. 63, 09-74, 7y on page 358.) Multiply the circumference with and add For Dies with less than i6 ins. circumference, deduct per inch from price of 16-inch die. For Dies with more than 40 ins. circumference, add per inch to price of 40-inch die. 356 to o z h h O a: < D C w Q 2 < < > O Q 2 D O 1 s 3 a- 1 o I 1 c 3 5 .~-s o"> CO -t< »o o t- X) as O' -i-< c"?

Trimming dies do not in most cases, differ very much from cutting dies, but are generally furnished with additional gauges, which add from $1 to $5, sometimes more, to the cost of cutting dies of same shape and size. Where the articles to be trimmed are such as to require more elaborate devices for holding and guiding, the prices are correspondingly higher. BURRING DIES. These dies are used for forming a narrow edge on blanks previously cut. They are generally made of steel, and with gauges complete, are about the same in price as cutting dies of corresponding shape and size. If made of cast-iron, they are about per cent, less, but of course not nearly as durable. HOLLOW CUTTERS. For Cloth, Linen, Paper, Leather, Etc. These " hollow" cutters are used by manufacturers of shirts, collars, cuffs, hats, caps, shoes pocket-books, envelopes, labels, rubber goods, hosiery, and other articles of a similar nature, in the presses described on pages 134 and 135. They are made of special steel, and if so ordered, can be supplied with "spring push-outs" for discharging the material after cutting. 362 CO o 2 -J Q, D o 0) f^ u h T ^ n w 2 ^ D X Q.

Fruit Can Combination Die with Removable Centre Punch Fruit Cin Cap C mt-ination Die Combination Dies (see pages 366-379), are used in single-action foot or power presses. They cut a blank, and at the same operation turn down its edge and form the article into shape. In most cases, the articles thus made are of shallow shapes, their edges ordinarily not over -f's inch deep, as for instance, can tops and bottoms, pail, bucket, and cup bottoms, etc., etc. Quite frequently, however, dies of this class are used for making deeper articles, such as blacking, lard, salve, and other covers up to ?« inch deep, or for cutting and forming burner and gas-fixture parts, toys, etc., up to 1 inch deep or more. Suggestions concerning a large variety of shapes and styles of work such as can be done in combination dies, will be found on the following pages. Most combination dies are so arranged that the finished article is automatically pushed out from the dies by the action of springs. With a press set on an incline, the finished work will therefore slide back by gravity, effecting a consid- erable saving in labor and greatly increasing the speed of production. An expert oper- ator, with a medium size combination die in a power press, will produce from 15,000 to 17,000 pieces per day of ten hours. The cutting and working parts are of the best English Cast Steel, welded to '' wrought iron, thus making them solid, and consequently more durable than dies made partly of cast iron and in separate pieces. The Fruit Can Combination Die, with removable centre punch, illustrated above, is now quite generally used, and with the most satisfactory results. It is simple, saves expense and the inconvenience of changing dies, as by this arrangement both tops and bottoms can be made with the same die, finishing the tops by one operation, and by simply removing the centre punch {while the die and punch are still in the press) make the bottoms. The vent punches in the cap dies can be easily removed for sharpening, and are adjust- able, so that the vent holes can be made of any desired size. These dies are generally made entirely without springs when fitted to presses of our make. A knock-out attachment in the mandrel of the press discharges the work from the upper die, and an attachment on the under side of the bed plate (page 379) throws it out of the lower die ; both attachments are so arranged that the pressure can be adjusted to suit the work, and are applicable to all the sizes of combination dies that may be used in the press. DOUBLE-ACTION CUTTING AND DRAWING DIES. (See Pages 30.S-3T9.) These dies are used in double-action presses (see pages ir.7-181). They cut a blank, and at the same stroke of the press " draw " it into shape. The kind and thickness of the metal used determining whether one or several operations are required to obtain the de- sired depth and shape. The nature of the shaping process, which is known as " drawing," will be understood from the annexed sectional views of cutting and drawing dies. These illustrations show the two essentially different kinds of drawing-dies, viz.; Fig. 1, a " push-through die," and Fig. 2, a "solid-bottom die." \0 Fig. 1. Fig. 9. '* Push-Through " Cutting and *' Solid-Bottom " Cutting and Drawing Die. Drawing Die. The lower die "A" is fastened to the bed of the press, while the combined cutting punch and blank-holder " B " is worked by the outer slide, and moves slightly in advance of the drawing-punch "C," which is actuated by the inner slide. The outer slide of double action presses is so arranged that, after making Its stroke, it stops during about one-quarter of the revolution of the crank shaft. The blank having been cut from the sheet by the cutting edges of " A " and " B," drops into the lower dies, and is there held between the annular pressure surfaces "O" and "P" during the down "dwell" of the outer slide. While the blank is thus held under a pressure which can be regulated to suit the special requirements of each case, the drawing-punch "C " continues its downward movement thus drawing the metals from between the pressing surfaces into the shape required. In this manner the metal is prevented from " wrinkling." For straight-sided, cylindrical, or prismatic articles, which conform to the shape of the punch without requiring a counter- part in the bottom of the lower dies, tools similar to the one shown in Fig. 1 are used. They admit of pushing the finished article right through the die, it being " stripped ' ' from the punch at the commencement of its up-stroke by the action of the "stripping edge" " M." Where a counter pressure in the lower die is required, dies of the kind shown in Fig. 2 are used. These have, in addition to the lower die, blank-holder, and drawing- punch, what is known as a "push-out plate ""D." This plate rises at the same time as the blank-holder " B," thus lifting the finished article from out the lower die. The working parts of these dies are made of a special brand of steel carefully tempered and ground, either welded to wrought-iron plates, or fastened to cast-iron chucks, accord- ing to the requirements of the case. 366 S :^ t- t-- -^ 'tH ■a lu bft CO-r^^r^ 1 o .3; - - CO -i-H -rH D ^ ^ »0 lO ^ ■rt^ O bjO 01 CO rH 1-1 tfi \ n CO ^ Z Ui .^ I — Q // £ coco-^ -1^ h 1 CO CI CO 1-' 1-H 1 " ^^ 2 B < Z Z ~~^ (J^ jj *J vj w o G c qj tU 4J 4J "-3 2^ '■ 5 < s ^ o Z a ■ 3 • ^ a- ; "rt -^ CQ OJ .1) " M Q.

I^^~W^^^Di These dies are used in presses of the Ifind described on pages 170, 171 and 176, as Cutting, Drawing and Stamping Presses. They are fre- quently used instead of the Solid Bottom Double-Action Dies, described on page 365, Fig. 2. Like these, they cut, draw and stamp at one opera- tion, but they deliver the finished article below the die, instead of push- ing it up, enabling the operator to feed continuously, instead of waiting for each piece to come up, before the next one can be cut. Their construction will be understood from the above sectional view, in which A (set on a raised bolster E) represents the cutting and drawing die, B the blank- holder and cutting punch, C the drawing and embossing punch, and D the embossing die, which corresponds in its action to the solid bottom in double-action dies. After the article is cut and drawn by the action of A, B and C, as explained on page 365, the punch C continues to advance and carries the drawn article down until its lower surface meets the emboss- ing die D, where it receives the required impression of beads, fancy designs, or lettering, etc. On the up-stroke of the punch the finished article is stripped from it by the edge M, and the press being set on an incline, the work slides back by gravity beneath the raised bolster E, into a box placed behind the press. In this manner, embossed drawn articles can be pro- duced as rapidly as ordinary plain covers in push-through dies.

Sizing or Finishing' Die, Redrawing Die. Redrawing Die. Redrawing Die. Drawing Die. 5th Operation. 4th Operation. 3d Operation. The first operation shell is drawn with "outside" blank- holders, but all the others with "inside" blank-holders, which hold the partly finished article at its lower bc\'eled edge "0," while the punch draws it into a deeper shape of less diame- ter. These drawing and re- drawing dies are mostly made of a special grade of cast iron treated in such a manner as to give a very dense and uniform texture to the metal at the working surfaces. Sometimes, however, steel-rings are set into the dies, and the blank- holders made of steel castings, which adds considerably to the durabiUty of the tools. For articles which have to be very accurate in diameter a hard steel "sizing" punch and die are sometimes used after the last drawing operation. '■id Operation. 1st r)pcra- Lion.
