The following is an outline giving the successive stepsnecessary to make a Making a form: 1. Material (a) Plaster of paris. (b) Linoleum. 2. Apparatus 1. The wheel. 2. Steel tool. 236 First Step— On the disk of the wheel already mentioned place, in avertical position, a piece of linoleum rolled into a cylinderand tied with a string as illustrated in the ris^ht of Fig
