Сторінка 99 - ... (a composition of powdered charcoal and clay in varying proportions), which is rammed in with a wooden stamper, after wetting it until it just coheres in lumps. The dam is made in the same manner, but of very good fire-clay, and taking care to make it extremely hard. It has a steep pitch toward the bottom. The tap-hole is made by pounding clay into the space left for that purpose and turning a pointed stick on the outside round a central axis, thus circumscribing a cone. The taphole may be in...

Pure silicates of lime cannot be perfectly liquefied by the temperature prevailing in a leadfurnace. The tapping is done at these works in the old manner, by piercing the tap-hole with a bar as soon as the lead has risen to the slag-spout. The tap-hole is just high enough above the bottom of the hearth to leave a suitable quantity...
