The Manufacture Of TILES.

Tiles, being q thinner ware than bricks,
have to be made of purer and stronger
clay. They also require more careful
treatment, but the process of manufacture
is not essentially different. There are
many varieties of tiles, but for practical
purposes they may be reduced to three,
namely, paving tiles, roofing tiles and
drain tiles. In weathering, the clay is
spread in layers of about two inches
thickness during winter and each layer
is allowed the benefit of at least one
nights frost before the succeeding layer
is put upon it. .......... ...
Sometimes the process is effected by
sunshine. The comminuted clay is next
placed in pits and allowed to mellow or
ripen under water. Then it is passed
through the pug mill, and the tempered
product cut in thin slices with a piece of
wire fixed to two handles, in order to
detect any stones, and then passed
through the pug mill again, after which
it is generally ready for moulding. To
take the case of pan tiles (hand moulded),
the moulder turns the tile out of the
fiat mould on the washington frame, on
the covered surface of which, with very
wet hands, ke washes it into curved
shape. Then he strikes it with semi
cylindrical instrument called the splayer
and conveys it on this to the fiat back,
where he deposits it, with the convex
side uppermost, and removing the splay-
err, leaves the tile to dry. The tile is
afterwards beaten on the thwacking
frame, to correct any warping that may
have occurred, and trimmed with the
| thwacking knife. In the kiln, which is
constructed with arched furnaces at the
base of conical erection called the dome,
the tiles are closely stacked in upright
position, on a bottom of vitrified bricks.
The fuel used is coal, and the burning
continues usually about six days. In
making pipe drain tiles, the clay is first
moulded to a proper length, width and
thickness, then wrapped around drum;
the edges are closed together, and the
tile is carefully shaped by the operators
hand, sometimes assisted by wooden
tool Tiles as well as bricks can be made
by machinery; with suitable dies almost
any form of tile may be thus had, which
is producible by the advance of a given
section of clay parallel to itself. In other
machines pressure is exerted on the clay
in mould.-Scientitfc american.
