A machine tool of large utility in the electrical field is the sheetmetal stamping press, and we Illustrate herewith the 1904 typebrought out recently by the Perkins Machine Company, of SouthBoston, Mass. It weighs 1,275 pounds, is made with jigs throughout,and has each part interchangeable. The shaft is of large diameterand supported by large bearings bored out from the press body. Theclutch is of special design, giving a high rate of speed, from 50 to 300revolutions. There are three shelves which can be detached from themachine. One shelf is for the screw driver, oil can, wrenches, etcThe other shelves are to receive tin, one before stamping, and afterstamping the scrap is thrown on the other shelf. This makes the.

The Perkins Machine Company makes over 200 varieties of press,from those for light jewelry work to presses that stamp out battle-ship plates. The hermetically-sealed steel caskets are made onthem, as well as the well-known Oneida steel pulley.
