Afterward the blocks are separated by the tools represented in Fig. 2357. Ice Tools.—A, Fig. 2357, is the ice-hook, used for storing ice in houses, towing it in the field, orhandling it on the platforms or cars. The handle varies from 4 to 16 feet in length. B is a fork split-ting-bar, for splitting the sheets as they pass along the channels to the elevator. The teeth split theice evenly, and for this reason this implement is often preferred to the single broad blade. C is agrooving-bar, supplied with a broad, blunt blade at one end, which is used to insert in the groovesmade by the plough and to break off the ice from the field into sheets ; at the opposite end there isa sharp blade like a chisel, which is employed only when the groove has been frozen over.
