Shaped charge carrier

A method of making brake rods comprising the steps of welding brake rod jaws to the ends of a solid bar or annular member, securing one end of the brake rod against movement, heating the brake rod and aligning the brake rod jaws on the ends of the brake rod so that the lugs of the brake rod jaws are generally parallel to the lug of a jaw on the other end of the brake rod. Alternately, the brake rod may be heated then have one end secured against movement and the lugs of the brake rod jaws aligned.
