...Electropunches, made by Black & Webster, Inc, Newton, Mass, brought about substantial economies in the assembly of Telechron electric clock cases. The original method entailed placing the front plate in a nest and assembling the gear train and motor on the plate. The back plate was then screwed on by positioning three screws and fastening them with a power screwdriver.    Now, the back plate is positioned and the nest slid under the Electropunch. Once in position, the work automatically trips the punch and staking occurs almost instantaneously. The time saving in fastening alone amounts to 600%, because it previously took 9 sec to pick up, position, and fasten the three screws. It now takes only 1.5 sec to slide the back plate as-sembly under the punch and stake it...  -- From the American Machinist 1953 I'm trying to picture this in my head.  Are they saying the started assembly from the front plate?  They would have had to flip it upside-down at the end.  9 seconds to fasten the 3 screws???   No wonder you can sometimes see the evidence of the power screwdrivers where they skipped off and left a swirly scar.  I'm trying not to picture the horrible injuries the staking machine caused workers trying to make 1.5 seconds.
