      Machines

      CHAPTER I

      BOLT HEADING MACHINES

      The bolt and nut industry in America started in a very small way in Marion, Conn., in 1818. In that year Micah Rugg, a country blacksmith, made bolts by the forging process. The first machine used for this purpose was a device known as a heading block, which was operated by a foot treadle and a connecting lever. The connecting lever held the blank while it was being driven down into the impression in the heading block by a hammer. The square iron from which the bolt was made was first rounded, so that it could be admitted into the block. At first Rugg only made bolts to order, and charged at the rate of sixteen cents a piece. This industry developed very slowly until 1839, when Rugg went into partnership with Martin Barnes; together they built the first exclusive bolt and nut factory in the United States in Marion, Conn. The bolt and nut industry was started in England in 1838 by Thomas Oliver, of Darlston, Staffordshire. His machine was built on a somewhat different plan from that of Rugg’s, but no doubt was a further development of the first machine; Oliver’s machine was known as the English Oliver.

      As is generally the case with a new industry, the methods and machines used were very carefully guarded from the public, and this characteristic seems to have followed this industry down to the present time, judging by the scarcity of information available on the subject. Some idea of the methods which were at first employed to retain all information in the factory in which it was originated is well brought out by the following instance: In 1842, when the industry was beginning to be generally known, it is stated that a Mr. Clark, who at that time owned a bolt and nut factory in New England, and had devised a special machine for use in this manufacture, had his forging machine located in a room separated from the furnaces by a thick wall. A hole was cut through this wall, and the man who operated the machine received the heated bars from the furnace through the small hole in the wall. The only person who ever got a glimpse of the machine was the operator. The forge man was not permitted to enter the room.

      Machine forging, as we know it to-day, is of wide application, embracing a large number of machines and processes that apply, in a measure, to almost any manufacturing plant. Machine parts hitherto made from castings are now made much more economically by the use of the drop-hammer or forging machine, and give much more satisfactory service.

      Types of Machines

      Upsetting and heading machines are divided into two general classes, namely, stop-motion and continuous-motion headers. The stop-motion headers have the greatest range, and are primarily used for heading bolts and for all kinds of upset forgings. The continuous-motion headers are used only for heading rivets, carriage bolts and short lengths of hexagon- and square-head machine bolts; they produce these parts at a much faster rate than is possible with a stop-motion header, but their range of work is limited. The universal practice is to shear the bars
