As an explosion in the demand for utility services took place during the first half of the 20th century the company were well placed to meet the demand for benders that would could form strips, bars, tubes, tees and angle sections to carry (and support) conduits for water, gas, steam and electrical wiring--to say nothing of the need for portable units to work on building sites where reinforced concrete bars were being prepared. The range of units offered was vast and the examples shown on this page are but a sample of the many devices constructed over nearly 100 years of production. |
