In its original form the material from which these spoons are m'lde comes in long thin strips of steel rolled to a uniform thickness. The strips are twelve or fifteen feet in length and of a T.idtu sufficient fcr the length of the spoon tw be made. These strip:-" are feU is. to a cutting machine, which cuts off pieces, each of: sufficient size for making a spoon, these being sim ply so many small, flat pieces of sheet steel. ' ' Then these blanks are put through a grader, a machine with powerful rolls, which so works the metal as to make it thinner in those parts of the blank that are to form the bowl and the handle of the spoon and thicker in the middle of the length of the blank from which the Bhank of the spoon will be made, so that it will be the bet ter able to bear the bending strain that will be put upon the spoon In nse. From the grader the blank' goes Into a;drop press, which cuts it into the outline form of a spoon, though from this press it comes out still flat. Then in another press the bowl of the spoon is formed, and then hi ptill another " the. handle, and so at i last ywi have the spoon in Its complel." spoon shape in steel, ready now tu bv plated by dipping it In molten tin. isew York Sun.
