The first bend is made along the sides ofthe U by means of an old car axle which has been in-dented for this purpose. The ends of the fingers are turnedup through the same movement of the machine after theyhave been anchored in the two ^-in. holes of the blockshown alongside the indented axle. The ends have to beturned to this final curvature to permit their attachment tothe woodwork of the wheelguard. The grooves of theshaping axle are constantly lubricated by gravity oil Baltimore Shops—Valve and Drain Cock Grinder It has been found that the planer and shaper permit thiswork to be done six to ten times faster than is possible inthe blacksmith shop because they eliminate the need of sub-jecting the stock to three different heats.
