Abstract: A method of bonding together metallic glass laminations to form a stack and thereafter shaping the stack, for example, by cutting, to form a bulk object such as a wound stator or rotor of an electric motor. Metallic glass is an amorphous ferromagnetic material used in the construction of electrical equipment to reduce core losses. The method involves coating individual laminations of metallic glass with a temperature resistant, non-gas producing metal bonding agent, stacking the coated laminations, applying a pressure to the stacked laminations such that the bonding agent does not exude from between the laminations, allowing the bonding agent to cure, and thereafter shaping the stacked laminations as required. In some cases, temperature resistant wiring and insulation are fitted to the shaped laminations and heated to a temperature sufficient to anneal the metallic glass. The laminations are shaped by cutting with a mixture of fluent material and abrasive material emitted from a nozzle at high pressure.

Abstract: A suspended ceiling leveling device is used to install a 90.degree. angle component of a gird assembly for a suspended ceiling in a level horizontal plane. The device comprises a body member engaging a vertical wall, wherein a 90.degree. angle component rest within a pair of devices. A suction cup affixed to an end of a handle assembly cooperates with the body member, wherein the suction cup engages the vertical wall holding the body member flush to the vertical wall.
