HENLEY PUBLISHING CO. 132 NASSAU STREET 1911 PREFACE The hot and cold shaping, squeezing, forming, and bend- ing of duplicate metal parts and high-speed steel cutting tools by forging in drop-dies, drop-hammers, steam-ham- mers, hydraulic presses, and forging-machines, are becoming more appreciated by the most advanced manufacturers and mechanics but, until the publication of this work, to the average mechanic familiarity with the advanced shop prac- tise, tools, and processes has been denied, because of the almost total lack of descriptive practical literature, and also the conservatism of manufacturers and experts in publishing their shop-practise and knowledge evolution. Therefore, to make possible among mechanics a broad and comprehensive knowledge of these arts I present this book, hoping it will find a valuable and permanent place in its field. BROOKLYN, N.
