First sentence: Save Thousands of Dollars by Repairing Bent Steel

Metal-working plants must live with the fact that employees make mistakes. These blunders regularly result in scrapped work or costly repairs. 

Flame Straightening Technology contains over 35 simple step-by-step procedures to salvage spoilt steel components. Hot shot techniques with a welder's heating torch are clearly illustrated for bending or straightening: structural shapes, distorted weldments, precision machined components, shafts, pipes, large cylindrical objects, thick heavy steel plates, castings, overlay distortion, and much, much more.
Description: Shows you where to apply the flame and for how long.  No theory.  All practical illustrated examples.
