General Electric electric welders, 1921

Automatic welding was invented by P.O. Nobel of the General Electric Company and introduced in 1920. It utilized bare electrode wire operated on direct current and utilized arc voltage as the basis of regulating the feed rate.  Railway and machine shops used it to build up worn motor shafts and worn crane wheels.

In theory a sphere is the best shape for a asme pressure vessels; however a spherical shape is quite difficult and expensive to manufacture so cylindrical shapes are more commonly employed. Small vessels can be manufactured from a pipe and two end covers.
