Abstract

A plurality of tubes are placed side-by-side on the forming surface of a die, another die is brought into contact with the tubes, thus sandwiching the tubes therebetween. The two dies are then placed into a press that forces the dies together, simultaneously deforming the tubes into intimate contact with each other, thereby producing an exacting fit between adjacent tubes.
