Staking Tool and Anvil

Smith's patent staking tool, anvil and screw holder, shown in Fig. 296, will be found a very handy tool for removing and putting on rollers, for putting hairspring collet on balance staff, or for riveting in bushings. The plain staking block, or anvil, is usually made of a solid piece of polished steel, in the form of a cube, or circular as in Fig. 297. The example shown has a reversible center hub which makes it valuable for putting on hands, etc.
