Shrinkage. —Determination of allowance for shrinkage in mould manufacture is of prime importance. Design comes next. Types of Moulds. —Slip moulds including the open slip and vent bottom types, steel slip liner moulds, and the wooden knock‐down screw mould. Materials Used. —Soft steel, cold rolled steel, galvanized iron and hard woods. Moulding Tools. —The slicker, short scoop, smacker, putty knife, rammer and hammer. Manufacture of Moulds. —Relation to the manufacture of all kinds of brick made from these special refractory materials. The treatment of each type of mould includes materials and method of manufacture, the materials and kinds of brick, the manufacture of which it is best suited, together with the manipulation best suited to turning out a uniformly good product. Correction of mould faults and suggestions for overcoming difficulties encountered in moulding brick find their place wherever the discussion of the various moulds and operations suggests any of the common troubles of the moulder.
