Abstract:  
This invention relates generally to shot peening apparatus of the type in which small shot particles are forcibly impacted against surfaces of parts for cold working purposes, and more particularly has to do with improvements in such apparatus directed to more efficient handling and transportation of the shot particles and better arrangement and movement control of both the peening nozzles from which the shot is thrown and the carrying means for the part to be peened, ultimately favoring higher outputs, lower cumulative shot loss and better quality peened surfaces.
