Up-set′ting.

Contracting a heated metallic object by endwise blows. In thickening the end of a rod to form a head it is spread by blows directed endwise.

Shortening tire, to enable it to bind the fellies more firmly, is called upsetting, and is presumed to be done by cutting the tire, and then shortening by the process described, after which the tire is re-welded. It is, however, oftener done by cutting out a piece and re-welding. The name is retained, but no upsetting occurs. See tire-Shrinker; tire-upsetter.
