THE ENGLISH WHEEL: HOW TWO HANDS AND AN OLD-WORLD TOOL MADE SOME OF THE SEXIEST CAR BODIES IN HISTORY

摘要

Americans call it an English wheel, but the English call it a wheeling machine. It's technically a rolling hammer - two steel drums that can form sheetmetal into complex curves. In the wrong hands, an English wheel can turn a flat piece of alloy into sine-waved trash. In the right ones, it can make the fender of a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa in a few hours. Or just about anything else you can build from curved metal.
