By our Patent Forging Machines, STEEL PROJECTILES, any shape or Size, are produced with an accuracy and economy hitherto unattainable; also Balls (perfect spheres). The above are forged at one process very rapidly and under great pressure, rendering the metal dense and ductile, so hardened and tempered as to pierce thick iron or steel plates.
