84 FEDERAL REPORTER. �but such bend -was made with a mallet ; that he does noi recolleot the use of a single lower maie die without any other form of bend or angle on the face of the lower die; and that when a single upper sectional diehad been let downand used to bend, it was clamped to the lower die, and another sectional upper die was then used. Handmann, a house-smith, worked for Althouse & Co. for 13 years, and while they had thia machine, which he assisted in making. He says the upper dies were sectional, and were used in succession, by letticg one down at a time, and bending with it, by bringing up the lower die against it, and then th- upper die was clamped to the lower die and went down witu it ; and that a single maie die was never used under a single . female die.

There is nothing in the specification to indicate that the pat- entee oontemplated makiog any angular bend other than a right-angled bend. The drawings show no other. But they do show right-angled bends in contrary directions on the same moulding. The expression, "ail kinds of smooth mould- ings," means, in respect to angular mouldings, "ail kinds of smooth right-angled mouldings," and the expression, "ail sorts ��� �
