the stock sizes of sheets. However, there are cases where a small amount of extra wastage will be more than compensated for by the saving in labor. Figure 204 shows a layout that would preclude the possibility of using the squaring shears and the circular shears for cutting out the blanks.

It is evident that cutting must be done with the hand snips. While this would be desirable if but one sprayer were to be made, it would result in an increased labor cost in quantity production.

Figs. 204-205.— Plan for Cutting Atomizing Spray Pump Parts from Sheets.

Figure 205 shows the method of arranging the pump barrel and brace patterns on the sheet in such a way that they can be cut in the squaring shears. The ends for the reservoir and the pump nozzles are arranged for cutting in the squaring shears by cutting along the dotted lines. After the sheet is cut into blanks, the circular ends may be cut true to shape in the circular shears. The nozzle, however, will have to be marked from a master pattern and the curved edges cut by the hand snips.
