(6.) In steam-turbines, a process of forming rings of blades, consisting in milling out grooves to receive the individual blades, folding over the interleaving teeth, and then turning off the resulting irregular edge to produce a shrouding to prevent steam-leakage, substantially as described. (7.) In steam-turbines, a ring of blades having heads adapted to produce continuous shrouding, combined with a second ring of blades having their roots secured by means o a caulking-strip, adapted to give a continuous abutting surface to prevent steam-leakage, substantially as described. (8.) In steam-turbines, a ring of blades provided with a shrouding formed of a perforated strip secured to the blades, substantially as described. (9.) In steam-turbines, a ring of blades provided with a shrouding formed by a set of overlapping segments of perforated strip secured to the blades, substantially as described. (10.) In steam-turbines, a shroud-ring adapted to prevent steam-leakage, secured to the blades by notching and binding, substantially as described. . (11.) A method of securing steam-turbine blades in the drum and casing grooves, consisting in employing two complementary notched rings between which the blades are fastened by caulking, substantially as described. (12.) A method of securing steam-turbine blades in the drum and casing grooves, consisting in slitting the blade-roots, and bending one or both of the parts at angles to correspond with those of grooves in the gripping-faces of two notched rings which clamp the blades in position when caulked up, substantially as described. (13.) A method of securing steam-turbine blades in the drum and casing grooves, consisting in employing a grooved strip within which the blades are packed and secured by means of dovetailing or locking, then securing this strip with its blades into the drum and casing grooves by caulking, as set forth. (14.) A method of securing steam-turbine blades consisting in employing one or more perforated strips, into which the blades project, said blades and strips being both fastened in position by caulking, substantially as described. (15.) A method of securing steam-turbine blades consisting in employing one or more perforated strips into which the blades project, said blades and strips being both fastened by means of a caulking-strip, substantially as described.
