MAKING GOLD LEAF.
The Metal Is Beaten For Hours by
Men, Then Finished by Girls.

In one of the downtown business
streets may be seen sticking from one
Of the upper windows a massive arm
and hand, the hand grasping a huge
hammer and the whole sign gilded. 1t
is the sign Of the gold beaters' estab-
lishment, where thousands of the gold
sheets are turned u after having
been packed by girls.
Gold leaf is packed more by the aid
of the breath than by the hands. The
operation of transferring a sheet Of
almost transparent gold leaf from one
place to another is so delicate that 1t
is possible to do it only by a light
puff of the breath. 1t takes most girls
six weeks to acquire this knack, and
some girls are never able to acquire it.
The gold reaches the beaters first
in wide bars Or nuggets and has to be
weighed, melted and made into inch
wide ribbons before anything else IS
done. The ribbon is then cut into inch
squares and beaten with q hammer
welded by q man. When each leaf
has been beaten thin it IS transferred
to a mold. where it IS beaten four
hours more. The beating is done with
a wooden hammer weighing from
seven to eighteen pounds, on a sheep
skin cushion. which rests on a granite
block. The gold used for beating IS
usually % or % carats fine. A little
alloy OF copper or silver is added to
make it spread. 1t would be impos.
sible, the heaters say. to handle per
fectly pure gold.
After the gold has been beaten It
is handed over to the girls, who lift
the unshaped leaf from the mold with
a pair Of wooden pinchers, latten it out
on a sheepskin cushion by gently blow.
