progression as is also shown at fig4 a b the die 31 mounted on the die breast generally indicated at 13 in fig7 in the illustrated case presents a flat surface 36 transverse to the horizontal axis of ram motion against which the blank 26 is formed the tool or punch assembly 32 mounted on the ram 12 includes an insert 37 having an internal cavity 38 for shaping the blank 26 a punch pin 39 and a sleeve 41 all carried in a case 42 the case 42 is slidably mounted for limited axial movement relative to the ram 12 in a holder 43 fixed to the ram the insert 37 is resiliently biased through its supporting case 42 towards the die 31 by a high pressure lever 46 such as disclosed in u s pat no 8 024 952 the lever 46 carried on and pivotal on the ram 12 multiplies a force developed by a gas spring 47 stationarily mounted on the frame of the machine adjacent the die breast 13 the gas spring 47 is effective on the lever 46 when the ram 12 approaches fdc the sequence of movement of the tooling at the second station 17 follows the transfer of the blank 26 to this.
