A piece A of 1-in. round stock of the required length isheated and placed in the position shown, Fig. 1, where B,advancing, binds .4 between C and D. As B continues toadvance, the piece comes in contact with E, the movement ofwhich compresses the spring and by the movement of twobell cranks operating F and G bends A as shown in Fig. completes the first operation. The partly formed brake hanger is now reheated and in-serted in a form for bending the eyes, as shown in Fig. two plungers, H and /, advance simultaneously, Hpushing / and U forward, bending A as shown by dottedlines in Fig. 4. / then engages A and bends it around thepin A with a lateral motion imparted by /... This forms the. The Attachment In Place on the Bulldozer The two pieces L and M are removable so that other partsmay be bent by substituting forms of the desired shape inplace of those shown in the drawing. ESSENTIAL FACTORS IN PROMOTINGSHOP OUTPUT BY GEORGE W. ARMSTRONG The past eight months have witnessed a radical changein the operation of many large railroad shops through theelimination of piece work. However drastic the transitionmav seem to many, it should not present an insumiountablebarrier to retaining a high degree of shop efficiency and insome instances of improving the quality of the output. Theessential factors for the most successful shop operation, asstated bv the writer in a previous article,* are not inherentlydifferent for the da}--work system than for the piece-works\stem. The stressing of latent or neglected factors is, how-ever, required adequately to meet the changed conditions. Abrief exposition of some of these essential factors was em-bodied in the
