Design features of a prototype machine developed by Western Electric for continuous hydrostatic extrusion of wire from rod are described. The device combines positive die lubrication with viscous drag feeding and offers low operating temperatures, high-speed extrusion, and enhanced control. Evaluation procedures are outlined. Potential development of production machines for aluminum, copper, and phosphor-bronze wire is considered.
