Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iv)l [Also in Group XXX] Angular bending.-A resilient clip for holding a flat bottom rail g to a steel sleeper or soleplate is bent up from rectangular stock into the shape shown in Fig. 1, the greater dimension being in the plane of the bend. To avoid overstressing the metal the apex of the bend has the circular formation c. The clip is then bent in a transverse plane to form a bearing end such as f and an abutment such as d. The clip is heattreated to impart the resiliency required.
