GREENERD ARBOR PRESSES
The Greenerd arbor presses' appearance when first invented was laughed at by mechanics, but after demonstrations, they soon ceased to laugh; but even then, many mechanics thought it was a luxury which could only be afforded in up-to-date machine shops. A trip through the machine shops not only of this country, but abroad, will soon dispel the idea that Greenerd arbor presses are either a toy or a luxury. The manufacturers state that thousands of all sizes are in daily use, winning friends with proprietors, superintendents, foremen and workmen. These presses are extremely simple and serviceable, saving the mandrels and the work. One able mechanic says, “It is the civilized way of doing it.” Many other uses than driving mandrels can be found for these presses. The builder, Edwin E. Bartlett, 326 A St., Boston, Mass., says he has found them in setting-up rooms and many other places where one would hardly expect to find such a tool.
They are made in 8 sizes for driving mandrels up to 7 inches in diameter and for giving a pressure of 25 tons. It is not improbable that it will become, like the bench vise, a universal tool. |
