Crowding down into a single brood chamber all but guarantees swarming.
There is more to it than crowding them down.  Also required is a break
in the brood cycle and a new/young queen also helps.  Taylor's wrote
about shook swarming, but the method is not attributed to him.
Another book, argueably a better book is Killion's _Honey_in_the_Comb_
by Eugene Killion, published by Dadant Press.  I consider this book
"must reading" for anyone thinking about producing comb honey and
"suggested reading" for anyone keeping bees.
