@. How does q machine form toy

A. The process used by the j. E. Al
bright Co. Of Ravenna, Ohio, is quoted
as follows: THE process we use is
briefly, to grind clay in water until IL
is plastic and easily worked, press II
into strands, cut these strands into
little pellets, throw the little pellets en-
simple homemade machine, which
consists of number of grooved Stats
laid parallel to each other, the stats
being so attached to an eccentric that
alternate ones move one direction
when the ones adjacent to them move
in the other direction. This process
makes the marbles approximately
round. They then have to be screened
and sorted. The only way we know OF
to make an absolutely round marble Is
to press it or pour clay slip in a molc
and doing either Of these things is
quite slow and expensive work In
Germany children roll clay marbles by
hand with the aid Of two groovec
