Synopsis

Excerpt from Cartridge Manufacture: A Treatise Covering the Manufacture of Rifle Cartridge Cases, Bullets, Powders, Primers and Cartridge Clips, and the Designing and Making of the Tools Used in Connection With the Production of Cartridge Cases and Bullets, Together With a Description of Th

The processes used in the manufacture of cartridges are of interest not only to the makers of munitions of war, but to every mechanic who is engaged in those industries in which the drawing and forming of metal in presses is of im portance. The principles and operations pertaining to the production of metal cartridges are essentially the same as those used in hundreds of industries engaged in the manu facture of drawn objects for the most peaceful purposes; and while at the present time the interest in ammunition is paramount, the methods used for its manufacture differ in no essential from the methods employed in the ordinary metal working industries. The aim of this book is, there fore, not only to cover the various steps in the manufacture of one of the most important of munitions of war, but also to place on record approved methods in the drawing and form ing of deep metal shells for any purpose. As the processes used in the manufacture of cartridges are probably more highly developed than those employed in most other fields of metal drawing, a book relating to these processes will no doubt be found of great value in many kindred fields.
