The extending portions-15b tween the slots by the bending, and therefore maintain their original sha'pe,-.and form arches between the slots 11," the radii'of which areequal to the original radius 'of the ring 13.

' ary vanes.
hat I claim '1. The method of. manufacturing blade holding elements, which-consists in cutti'n a number ofnotches in a substantially radial direction acrossthe lateral face of a circudirection across. a Iateralface of. acircular band, and which extend into the ring at an. angle-to the axis. being deeper at one peri heral fac'eof-the ring-than at the other,
serering thering and bendin it to form a segment of a circle of larger diameten 8. The method of manufacturing blade holdinovele" ts, which consists in cut-ting a number offs )tantially radial slots across a lateral". .ace' circular ring, which slots .face.
extend longitudinally of the ring at an angleto its axis, severing the ring and bend-- ing it to form diameter.
4. The method of manufacturing base strips for blades, which consists in cutting a number of' radially extending slots across the lateral face of a ring or ring segment, then bending the ring or ring segment to part of a ring of different form a segment-of ,a rlng of different diameter of which the slotted face is a lateral 5. The method of manufacturing base strips for blades, which consists in cutting a'number of radially extending slots across the lateral face of a metallic lin which 7 slots extend into the ring and are deeper at the innerperipheral face, then bending the ring to form a. segment of difierent diameter of which the slotted-face is a lateral face.
G. The method of manufacturing base strips for blades, wh1ch consists in cutting slots across a face of a strip and then bending the strips to form a ring or ring segment so that the slots, are narrower at theouter peripheral face of the ring or ring segment.
