SERIES 2. — MANUFACTUBES IN METAL WORKING. 



Plate 34. 



The processes of metal working include all of those arts which go 

 by the general names of hammering, casting, overlaying, inlaying, 

 damascening, swaging, twisting, linking, chasing, embossing, carv- 

 ing, niello work, and others of a more refined character. They are 

 embraced in the general term of manufactures or elaborative indus- 

 tries. For each process there is a craft with its own appliances, tools, 

 and processes, creating and supplying new wants. In the series 

 here shown the results of these processes are set forth in the order of 

 their refinement, although the presentation is far from complete.
