Abstract:  
Reprinted with permissino from Proceedings of ICSP1. Editor: A. Niku-Lari. When Herbert experimented in 1926 by pouring 3 mm dia. steel balls down a speaking tube on to a steel specimen contained in a metal biscuit tin, he could not have foreseen how far reaching his work would be. This idea of mechanical hammering was basically correct.
