The clutch is designed to be highly effi-cient, very low unit pressures being used in its operation andshows remarkable results under tests. For instance, the clutch, while adjusted to pick up the fullload under a standing start with the ram down against thework, is said to have been repeatedly thrown into engagementwhen the dies were together, thereby stopping tlie fly wheel. view Showing Rugged Construction of New Press Brnkc in a short peri
