Shingling
Shingling was a stage in the production of bar iron or steel, in the finery and puddling processes. As with many ironmaking terms, this is derived from the French - cinglage. The product of the finery was a bloom or loop (from old Frankish luppa or lopp, meaning a shapeless mass); that of the puddling furnace was a puddled ball. In each case, this needed to be consolidated by hammering it into a more regular shape. This was done manually with heavy hammers; later by a waterwheel or steam powered hammers, leading to modern power hammers. The result was an oblong-shaped iron product similar in appearance to shingles used on roofs. In the finery, this was part of the work of the finer; during puddling, it was done by a special workman called the shingler. The iron (or steel) then had to be further shaped (drawn out) under the hammer or rolled in a rolling mill to produce a bar. In more recent times, the process was carried out using mechanical jaws to squeeze the puddled ball into shape.

shingling
Shingling refers to the process of overlapping a series of elements, typically flat and rectangular, to cover a surface and provide protection from external elements. It is commonly used in roof construction, where materials like slate, wood, metal or asphalt shingles are placed to shield the building from rain, snow, and heat. In the context of data mining and information retrieval, shingling is a technique where documents are converted into sets of overlapping substrings, or "shingles", for comparison and duplication detection.
