Il will be apparent TO any one, who viii
examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH, that asid
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, the large proportion OF the
precious metal used is need only to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place, and
supply the necessary solidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless, SO far
as UTILITY and beauty are concerned. In
LANES BOSS PATENT STIFFENED GOLD
WATCH CASES, this waste OF precious met
al is overcome and the same solidity and
strength produced at from one-third TO one
half of the usual cost OF solid cases. Thss
process is of the most simple nature, as iol-
lows: \ plate of composition metal, special
ly adapted TO the purpose, has two plates OF
solid gold soIdered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is strip of heavily
plated composition, from which the cases
centers, heZeis, etc, are cut and shaped by
suitable dies and formers. The gold In these
is sufficiently thick 10 admit of all kinds OF
chasing. engraving and enamelling; and en-
gTaved cases have been carried until worn
