Sequential Block Search for Direct Acquisition of Long Codes under Large Uncertainty

Lightweight apparatus for forming bends in concrete reinforcing rods at a construction site is described. The inner surface of one of the legs of an elongated angle iron provides a platform for supporting a rod to be bent, and a first stud around which the rod is bent projects over the platform from the other leg adjacent an end of the angle iron. A lever plate is mounted on the exterior side of the second leg for pivotal motion about the axis of the first stud. A second stud projects from a location on the lever plate providing orbiting of the same around the first stud on pivotal motion of the lever plate to bend any rod between such studs around the first stud. The lever plate has an elongated handle attached to it to facilitate pivotal motion thereof by hand.
