SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 415,818, dated November 26, 1889. Application filed February 11, 1889. Serial No. 299,385. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern: second plate, having their adjacent faces Be it known that I, \VILLIAM W. MINER, shaped so as to form a recess between them of New Haven, in the county of New Haven. corresponding in section to the shape of the and State of Connecticut, have invented a new blank to be produced. This blank, as seen Improvement in the Manufacture of Horsein Fig. 3, is to be round in transverse section,

In the lower surface is a cavity 1), cornail, always with aflatsurface.

In the nail thus produced the metal is very solid and compact. The operation gives to the nail the required temper, and it is much tougher and less liable to split and more pert'ect than can be produced by the usual forging operation and subsequent trimming, pointing, and bending.
The machinery for rolling, as Well as the machinery for flattening, may be automatic. Such automatic machinery will constitute the subject of another application.
The body of the nail below the headsay as below the line a of Fig. 3may be rolled 1nto tapering shape, as Ihave described, without rolling the head, the head being otherwise shaped. This rollingoperation Will give to the nail the solidity, toughness, and temper which are desirable.
I do not claim, broadly, making the body of a horseshoe-nail round and then flattening that round body, as such, I am aware, is not new.
