The old handprocess would produce but 50 in the sametime, and then only by the liveliest work turned out by the two processesis not at all comparable, as the dies al-ways insure a true job, and the yokes areabsolute duplicates. Fig. 7 represents the dies used to formsafety hangers for brake beams. Twosets of dies are used to bring the piecemto shape; the first operation bending it Die Fig. 5 is a well-devised means toan end, and tells of the gains that mustfollow the use of special tools for specialuses. These dies are used for makingrail braces out of old fish plates; a speciesof scrap that piles up on every road for thewant of a purchaser. There are two setsof dies, the first Hringing the brace toshape from the straight piece, in lotsof a thousand at a time; after which theyare placed in the second or finishin
