An old engraving of a worker operating a machine for shaping sheet metal in the 1800s. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. Stamping or pressing is the process of placing flat sheet metal form onto a die (shaped metal mould) in a stamping press. Steam-powered, foot-operated pistons are operated, pressing down the flat sheet into the shaped die and into the form required. Here examples of finished, round tins lie on the ground.
