Yes you are correct. There first swage bullet die set was made from a model T axle. The bullets from these dies were often used to shoot rockchucks so he called them ROCK CHUCK BULLET SWAGE DIES. This is were RCBS originated from.

Swiftly moving on.
These are the powder measure stands I made out of bits of scrap metal not very elegant but they work I can use them any were on a flat surface.
The 38/357 Dies are a different story. But more of that later.

From TESS, accessed through http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/process/search/ there is a trade mark ROCK CHUCKER that was in use pre-1967 and is now owned by Alliant Techsystems Inc, RCBS's owner.

Re: New project
Yes that would make sense Vernon Speer started his bullet Company in the 1940,s His Son joined the business in 1952 the Company History is well documented. I own Several of there Reloading manuals my earliest one is 1979 all of there manuals contain a potted History. Any experienced (old) reloader would know that. The lyman Manuals are the same some fascinating reading to be had in the reloading manuals its not just data. You Guys should try it some time.
Re: New project
Any way reloading die for 38/357 for my arbor press.
This is version one the next one will be better.
The case sits in the case holder I need to make a new dedicated one so it fits better.
The bullet is set on the case the die fits over the case then the bullet is seated using the arbor press. easy peasy.
Why because I can. :lol:

Absolutely great fun learning all the time I'm starting slowly with small stuff and enjoying every minute. I have had a few c--k ups mind. The milling slide did not work out very well. But hey what the heck.Looks good! More importantly, did you have fun making it?
