The machine isnow in operation in the Casey-Hedges,Chattanooga, Tenn., and other wellknown shops, where they are meeting therequirements. The general dimensions are :Height from floor. 12 ft. 6 ins.

The press can be operated on form-ing boilers by sectional formers up to20 ft. in diameter, and will flange anddish a boiler head 6 ft. 4 ins. in diameter,Ss-in. in thickness at one operation.
