Excerpt from Shrapnel Shell Manufacture: A Comprehensive Treatise on the Forging; Machining, and Heat-Treatment of Shells; And the Manufacture of Cartridge Cases and Fuses for Shrapnel Used in Field and Mountain Artillery, Giving Complete Direction for Tool Equipment and Methods of Setting Up Ma
A small percentage of shrapnel shells are now made from bar stock, but most Shrapnel bodies are made from forgings, formed hollow in hydraulic presses or in forging machines. The forging processes, which are of extraordi nary interest, especially to those who know something of the difficulties attending them, are, however, not finishing processes. Whether made from the bar or forged hollow, all shrapnel shells must be very accurately finished by ma chining.
