HOW GOLD LEAF is MADE.
Cast in lnaots and Fiattcned. Cut N
Pieces and Beaten.


Gold leaf. of which such large guam.
titles are used by picture frame ma.
kers rs well as by other trades. Is
made as follows:
An alloy of the desired color having
been formed, the gold is melted in a
cruciDle NJ a temperature well above
the fusion point. 1t is then east into
an insot and flattened by rolling be-
tween pair of powerful steel rollers
into ribbon one and one-half inches
wide and ten feet IN length TO the
ounce.
After being flattened ii is annealed
and cut into pieces of about six and
onehalf grains each, and placed be-
tween the leaves of a Clutch, which
is about half an inch thick and three
and half inches square. containing
about $50 leaves of tough paper manu-
featured for the purpose. This is
beaten on for about twenty minutes
with a seventeen pound hammer by
which the gold il spread TO the size
Of the "cutch' Each leaf is then TAX
en out and cut in four pieces.
These are put between the leaves
OF a "shoder" four and hals inches
square and three quarters of an inch
thick, containing about 100 skins
which have been worn out in the
mold" or finishing process. The
"shoder' requires about two hours
beating with a nine-pound hammer.
Each leaf is again cut in four pieces
and placed between the leaves of
mold, composed of about $50 of the
finest gold-beaters skins, five inches
square and thee-quarters of an inch
thick, the contents OF one "shoder'
filling three mods.
The material has now reached the
last and most difficult stage of the
process. During the first hour the
hammer is allowed to fail principally
on the center IL the mold This causes
gaping cracks upon the edges OF the
leaves, the sides of which RAPIDLY
ooalesce without leaving any trace of
the union after being beaten upon. At
The second hour, when the gold is
about the one hundred and fifty thou.
sandth part of an inch in thickness. it
for the first time permits the trans.
mission OF light. If the gold is pure
or but slightly alloyed, green rays
pass through; when highly alleged
with silver violet rays appear.
As a rule, about four hours beating
with a seven'pound hammer is reaulr-
ed. A single ounce of gold will at this
stage trim to about 1.200 leaves three
and quarter inches square. The fin
iShed leaves are taken out of the mold
and the rough edges trimmed off by
slips OF rattan fixed in parallel
grooves of an instrument called
wagon, the leaf being laid upon
leather cushion for that purpose.
The leaves are placed in books capa.
