Before reading the following pages, Mr. Batteryman, just stop a few minutes and take a good look around your shop. You know your business, certainly or you would not have a shop, but are you operating in a way to make the greatest profit?

When you stop to think it over, are not some of your methods rather crude? Haven't you often thought, when you were doing some disagreeable job, that there ought to be a better and quicker way? Haven't you often wished that you knew how to turn that rapid accumulation of “junk” parts into real money?

The American Bureau of Engineering is not trying to tell you how to run your business, but we are trying to help you realize a greater profit by showing you some “better” methods.

Lead moulding is but one of many ways that spare time and material, usually junked, can be turned into profit.

Every piece of equipment we mention has been carefully developed in our own shop, every method recommended is one which we have found, by actual experience to be best for the purpose described.

A strict observance of the instructions will save you all the experimenting we have done and save you many disappointments. If for any reason our instructions do not produce the results you think they should, remember it is a pleasure for our Engineers to help you solve your personal difficulties.
