Tiieprocess, how^ever, has yet to be completed, as at this stage thegold should project slightly above the orifice of the cavity. With instruments terminating in somewhat broad extremities,and file-cut, to prevent their slipping (Fig. 133), the surface iscondensed by considerable pressure, greatly augmented by aslight rolling movement being given to them at the same time. Fvr Hand mallet, the head of which is consti-uctcd of hard wood filled with lead, which lessensthe amount of vibration when used. Fiff. 1S5.
