Swages for trip hammers or for small steam hammers are for work not exceeding about 4 inches in diameter, made as in [Fig. 2865], the weight of the top swage being sufficient to keep the two closed as in the figure; for larger sizes the bottom swage fits to the anvil, and the top one is provided with a handle, as in [Fig. 2866], b representing the anvil block, s′ the bottom, and s the top swage, having a handle h. The flange of the bottom swage is placed as in [Fig. 2867], so as to prevent the swage from moving off the anvil block when the work is pushed through it endways. Obviously such swages are employed when the part to be swaged is less in length than the width of the hammer or of the anvil face.
