| Description: |  | The patent covers a process and forging equipment to form wrench sockets from billets. As with many of these forming and process patents, the assumption is that they reflect actual production methods.  The wrench sockets depicted in the drawings match HERBRAND sockets produced in the late 1930s and 1940s.
