All these products were manufactured at the Ordnance Factory Wests Road Maribyrnong. The practice bombs were used instead of live bombs [explosives filled bombs]. They were cheaper and could be used closer to population centres thus saying in transit times and fuel. They are still made today. The flow forming machine uses a former mounted in a lathe chuck then a sheet of metal [usually aluminium or copper] is placed against the former. The forming tool is mover up and as the metal sheet turns the forming tool starts to form the sheet to the shape of the former. This process is quicker than pressing the shapes. Form shapes are usually round to allow rotation in the machine. The flow forming machine show in the picture was manually operated, this would be in the 1970’s and 1980’s when they were making rocket nose cones and similar objects.John 'Jack' Horace Jackson Collection - Australia Defence Industries Photographs - L.A.W.
