The English translation says: "The key or key blank thus defined advantageously is made at least partly by die stamping."
Jonathan Widell (asker) Jul 6, 2007:
It is rather cryptic but it goes further: "Clef ou ébauche de clef caractérisée en ce qu'elle est réalisée au moins en partie par matriçage"
Jonathan Widell (asker) Jul 6, 2007:
It is a patent for a key
Tony M Jul 6, 2007:
You'll really need to give us some more context than this rather cryptic snippet.

OK, well at least it helps to know that it is the right kind of key! Die-stamping seems logical enough to me, though of course, it does all depend on the exact nature of this lock-&-key system

'drop forging' sounds a bit heavy for anything as small (I assume) as a key; it would probably need to be stamped, to have a degree of precision to it...
Something went wrong...
