Tiveeddale Tile. — The particulars of this tile were obligingly 
furnished by Mr. Thomas Bennett, of Park Farm^ near Woburn, 
steward to his Grace the Duke of Bedford. The machine is 
well known, and needs no description. Mr. Bennett states its 
advantages to consist in economising tlie labour of making to a 
small extent ; in giving a greater certainty to the quantity made ; 
and in producing a better article than tiles of the same kind 
manufactured in the ordinary manner. This superior quality 
arises from the greater density given to the clay in passing through 
the machine than can be obtained by hand labour. The price 
quoted is that charged by Mr. Bennett from the kiln to the 
estate, covering a moderate manufacturer's profit^ the cost of the 
coals used to burn the tiles being 25s. per ton. The machine 
requires a man and a stout lad to work it, and two boys to carry 
the tiles to the drying shelves. He considers it to be adequate, 
in a fair season, to the production of about 600,000 tiles, and 
as many soles. The present price of the machine is 40Z. The 
price at which these tiles can be manufactured and sold to the 
public is stated by the Company to vary from 23s. 6c?. to 40s. per 
thousand, according to circumstances, size, and the price of coals, 
to which has to be added one-half more for the soles. This 
machine requires a pug-mill, and the usual appurtenances of a 
tilery. About nineteen of thein are in use in different parts of 
the kingdom. 
Tile and Cover. — Mr. Etheredge's machine consists in the 
adaptation of a series of dies of a peculiar form to the bottom of 
a pug-mill, through which the clay is expressed, and received on 
mandrils answering to the form of the die. The mill erected at 
his works at Eling, and substantially made by Messrs. Ransome, 
contains eight of these dies. It is driven by one horse at a time. 
The horses have been supplied during the present year by Mr. 
Webster, of Hounsdown, a neighbouring agriculturist, at the rate 
of Is. per thousand tiles and 6d. per thousand covers or soles. He 
states that by changing the horse every three hours, the work has 
been satisfactorily performed by two blind but able horses, which
