Circumcision.

Does anyone remember the 1970s show "Liar's Club"? David Letterman was sometimes on it, along with other TV personalities like Fannie Flagg, Bettie White, and so on? |

Tracy is close. I think Smiles has it; not sure about the name.
It was for flaring the ends of lead plumbing to prepare for a patent joining fixture. The method was invented for making repairs in areas where a blowtorch could not be used. Here is a patent drawing showing how the system worked:

Sounds like a form of circumcision to me, in essence. I win.

Funny side story, you can't bring in cameras of course. But we brought in our video recorders. And we ended up demonstrating them, including how to mount them on a Formula 1 car (there was a perfect place in the side pod). So we left the factory with all kinds of video on a CF card.  This trip including the same thing at Renault F1 with a private tour and we stood 20 feet away as they ran the F1 car through the rpm ranges. We also toured S.P.A. and went to Hethel for a private track day and tour, Silverstone, Goodwood Revival and a few other car places. An amazing trip really.
