Shot-Making

Small shot is made of lead bested and dropped through a colander In rapid motion from a considerable height Into water. The lead falls In small globular drops. The holes In the colanders vary in »l*e. according to the denomination of the shot, small portion of arsenic Is melted with the lead, and the fusion In the colanders is maintained by those vessels being surrounded by burning charcoal. The advantage of n long fs clearly seen. When dropped In water Immediately from the colander the ballets are Ilsttened. the lead being soft. The long fall through the air enables the 1 md to cool and harden before fUng Its plunge. After cooling. shot Is sihed in successive sieves to separate the slaeo. The whole are then polished by rotary moUor small octagons, boxes into which a tittle plumbs go has been thrown.
