Bending Cast Iron.
Few mechanics know that cast iron can be bent or straightened, as the case may he. For example, take a piece of flat iron, place it on a level, solid surface and strike it lightly with a ba.llpeen hammer. If this simple experiment is tried, it will be found to the surprise of the experimenter, that metal of this kind readily yields to the light blows of a hammer. Do not strike hard enough to break or the casting.
