Besides the flanging and riveting machines in use in modern shops,there are a great many other special machines which reduce time andlabor costs in a marked degree ; hand-hole cutters for one, and punchesthat will stab an inch-and-a-half hole through wrought steel one inch. 35 36 THE ENGINEERING MAGAZINE.
