There are some who, instead, use two rounded rammers three and a half digits in diameter, the same at the bottom as at the top. Some people prefer two wooden spatulas, or a rammer spatula. In a similar manner, mixed and moistened powder is thrown and pounded with a rammer in the forehearth pit, which is outside the furnace. When this is nearly completed, powder is again put in, and pushed with the rammer up toward the protruding copper pipe, so that from a point a digit under the mouth of the copper pipe the hearth slopes down into the crucible of the fore- hearth, ^^ and the metal can run doviTi. The same is repeated until the â ^^What are known in English as " crucible," " furnace well," " forehearth," " dipping- pot," "tapping-pot," "receiving-pot," etc., are in the text all catinus, , crucible.
