This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 Excerpt: ... the lower division, and it should be mentioned that the top piece must be turned in the hands before it is thrown down on the lower half. Fig. 28 shows the clay wedged and ready for working; it has been cut and thrown together exactly thirty times. Both setter and slab must be damp.

Fig. 30 shows the same roll about finished. The fingers rest lightly on the clay, rolling it slowly and evenly on the slab. Fig. 31 and 32 show faults in rolling to be avoided. In Fig. 31 the hands are pressing too heavily on the clay, and in Fig. 32 the hands are kept in one position being moved lightly along the roll to keep it as nearly as possible of thickness. COILING instead of a uniform Commence by placing the setter on the table wheel, and revolve it under the point of a copying-ink pencil held firmly in one position as in Fig. 33. A circle is thus made, which is used as a guide for the base of the shape. Fig. 34 shows the coiling of the base. Take care to press the ro...
