In either ease, the effect will be to close the distance between the jawsat A. The reason in the latter case for pening the strap in the middle is that, since the pening willtend to round the face lengthwise, tiling out the pening marks will tend to straighten that face, andmay be more quickly performed ; for, if we were to pene the face in two places, the iiling out ofthe marks would aid the pening to round the face. It is obvious that, were the jaws too narrow atA, pening the inside crown face of the strap would widen them. The Mows should fall dead; thatis, the hammer should fall, to a great extent, 1>\ its own weight, the number rather than the force ofthe blows being
