Bob;



Could be. Those aluminum lamp bases are not my favorites; they tend to
seize but brass doesn't.

        I dimly remember reading an article in "Machine Design" a long
time ago
        on how those aluminum cans were made. The main part is formed by
"impact
        extrusion".

I think that is the process that makes the threaded base for light
bulbs. Bob in snow covered connecticut
