This invention relates to an improved form of press suitable for carrying out the method of piercing sheet material disclosed in my application Serial No. 588,153, filed April 13, 1945, now Patent 2,395,123, granted February 19, 1946.
In that application there is disclosed a method of piercing sheet material, such as thin sheet metal, by means of hydraulic pressure. In general, such method contemplates the use of a rigid following description.

The valve body is biased to its closed position, as by a spring 20, the lower end of which seats on a spider 2|. A passage 22 extends upwardly through the valve body, but it, too, is normally closed, as by ball 23.
