DEVICE FOR SPINNING METAL.
An Important and Simple Invention That Will Change Some Lines
 of Metal Manufactures

Cleveland, O., June 6.-James II. Bevington, a Cleveland inventor of note, has completed a device for spin ming metal, which promises to work important changes in various lines of metal manufacturing.

In a mo- ment's time the metal becomes hot and softens from the friction, and can then be shaped by the operator, according to his wishes. The tool, which consists of hard steel jaws, touching on either side of the revolving tube can be read fly gauged to any desired width, and the softened metal may be spun down by means of pressure to any size or shape so long as circular form is re tained
