FLIMSY GOLD LEAF.
It Would Take 150,000 Sheets to Make
a Pile an Inch High.
Gold beatiug Is one of the oldest
trades In Birmingham. The work Is
done entirely by band. Tbe leaf Is
hammered out in small borne work
shops from twenty-four carat gold, but
Is first sent to tbe rolling mills, whence
it is returned iu long, thin ribbons
one and a quarter inches wide and a
thousandth part of an Inch In thick
ness. Then it Is ready for tbe beater.
Tbe ribbon is generally cut off into
small 114 inch squares, weighing
about six grains.
Tbe thin square Is placed in tbe cen
ter of a vegetable parchment pad, con
slating of 100 sheets on top and tbo
same number beneath. This Is beaten
with a fourteen pound hammer, and
the gold, when considerably reduced in
thickuess, is placed between leaves of
goldbeater's skin skin prepared from
a thin but tough membrane found in
the large luteKtlue of the ox.
Eight hundred pieces of tbe ham
mered leaf are arranged over each
other between leaves of the skin, the
whole being placed between parch
ment bands and beaten for a couple of
hours with a seven pound hammer.
Then the 800 pieces ore cut up Into
3,200 pieces and again beaten. When
tbe work l done the leaf is 150.000
part of an Inch in thickness and al
most as light as air. London Ideas.
