On theother hand, if the bowls are weighted too heavily at thebottom it is difficult to tilt them, and an unnecessarystrain is imposed upon the operator and also upon thegearing and other mechanism; furthermore, it is noteasy to pour a smooth, continuous stream from a ladlewhich requires considerable exertion to hold it in thepouring position. In particular, all ladles that are pro-vided with bails for hoisting and transporting by cranesshould be so constructed that, when full of metal,the center of gravity will be well below the bail, unlessthey are arranged with geared devices for tilting. Inaddition, they should be provided with clips or clampsto prevent unexpected or accidental overturning. When buying new ladles it is important to see thatthe lips are of the correct shape to insure a smooth,narrow
