not water or steam, process somewhat
costly as regards fuel, and taking long
tine: patent has recently been taken
out IN Germany by Bahse and Haendei
Tor making sieve-hoops and like objects
Dy dry process, more cheaply and in
shorter time, from cut wood. Two rollers
are used, one above the other, and having
less velocity, SO that the upper acts by
holding back, while the lower extends
the wood flores. When the board thus
bent, leaves the rollers, it is fastened in
inc mouth OF the sieve. The upper roller
Is 1iuted, the under one smooth. If two
rollers were used very much
greater pressure would be necessary.
