There is probably less known about
tho manufacture of lead pencils than

ness" said John M. Ready of Now
York. II say extensive business, for
many people do not know that there is
as much ms $4,000, 900 expended for
lead pencils in the United States every
ycur. All the machinery used in the
production OF lead pencils is careful
ly guarded secret. 1t is not patented,
but each company has its own process,
and very little is known of it by out
siders. The general idea of the method
of manufacture can he given.
THE graphite, plumbago or black
lead, whichever you may call it., comes
from three placcs-India, Germany and
one part of the United States. The
American lead is considered the mcst
pure, having about one third more car
bon and much less silica than the for
eign article. The plumbago as mined
is brought to the factory, when the sill
ica is separated from the graphite by
system similar to that employed in sep
arating free gold from ore. 1t Is crush
ed into q fine powder and then mixed
with water, which flows over bumper
tables The weight Of the lead causes
it to collect on the tables. and tho silica
and baser materials flow off with the
water. The lead is then taken and mix
ed with clay in mortar.
''The clay 10 used rs temper to the
lead. The more clay used the harder
tho lead becomes, as when the mixture
is baked the heat affects the clay, hard
eninR it, whilsi 1t has no effect upon the
graphite. The mixture is then placed
in hydraulic press, which forces it out
like q black twine. This is run upon
tables, where it is cut in lengths of

The pieces OF lead are taken from the

the less pitch in the wood. As you
