reliable. Forgings cost far more than
stampings, but this increased expense has
been found by the manufacturers OF the
highest grade goods to lie more than offset
by the results. AT least four-fifths of
every forging is consigned to the waste
heap IN the shape of borings, but the shell
that remains is infallible, and when Sc

men makes a combination that is practi
cally indestructible under average or even
extraordinary conditions.
AS a striking instance of the faith OF
leading manufacturers in the future OF the
bicycle industry the fact may be cited that
one company has placed al order for 1900
tons of the finest steel, total OF 100000
pounds, to be used exclusively for drop
forgings in 1896. When it is considered
that fully 2, 100000 pounds of this expensive
material goes into the waste heap in the
form of borings some idea of the cost of
material required for high-grade frame
connections may be obtained. If steel
stampings were used no waste would be
perceptible, but drop forgings prove
cheaper in the end when bicycles are fully
guaranteed.
