Here are four more pots forthe mixing of molten metal. From oneof them a man was ladling the liquidalloy into moulds. His huge ladle re-minded one of the proverbial longspoon. Next we visited the depart-ment for the manufacture of wire solder.(Photograph 3 shows a press used forthis purpose). There too, we saw thewire solder being wound on huge fifty-.

We are particularlyproud of our solder explained In making wire solders, forone thing you have to be very carefulto get an even diameter throughout theentire spool. But we get it, and weturn out solders which please every-body. Of course, we dont confine our-selves to wire solders. Here are someother kinds that we send out in 100 They have to be mixed very care-fully. The percentages are exact andthe ingredients are mixed with excep-tional thoroughness.
