370 On the Manufacture of Tin-plate. 
on every tin plate which is exposed for sale— 
the workmen, in the manufactory of them, 
call it the list. 
Nothing now remains but to cleanse the 
plates from the tallow. This is done by 
means of bran, and as they are cleansed they 
are put into strong wooden boxes, or boxes 
of sheet-iron, made exactly to fit them; and 
this completes the whole business. Each box 
contains a determinate number of plates, and 
the following table will shew the different 
sizes of tin plate which are made in Great 
Britain, and the marks by which each kind 
is known in Commerce.
