taps, which are fastened together and to the insole and quarter by pegs or nails. Other materials are used for heels, such as, — Wood.Cast-iron. Vulcanite.Metal. Plated Brass shells filled with wood. Shell of leather, filled with composition of sawdust, waste-leather scraps, and glue or resin. Pieced heels are made of scraps approximately fitted together in a mold having movable sides, and then compressed so as to bring them to close conjunction and the required form. See Bigelow's patent, in which the blank-heels, built up in readiness for attachment to the boot, are punched while in a state of compression, and have the nails partially inserted ready for the final driving which fastens them to the boot. In some cases, as a substitute for the shaved rand, the upper lift is made basin-shaped by compression. The punching is done by a gang of awls. See also Ellis's patent of December, 1863, reissued, for punching the lifts of boots and shoes. After the blank-heel

n Car′pet. A carpet manufactured from wool or woolen dyed in the grain (before manufacture). These carpets are known as Scotch or Kidderminster, from the country and town where they are so extensively manufactured; also as two-ply or three-ply, according to the number of webs of which the fabric is composed. See two-ply carpet. In′grain-car′pet loom. A loom in which two or more shuttles, one for the ground and the other for the figure, are employed. Ingrain-carpet loom. In Bigelow's (Fig. 2675) the two, after being thrown, are received in horizontal boxes on each side of the frame, and a third series, containing the different colored yarns producing the pattern, are placed in a set of vertically arranged boxes; all the shuttles are actuated by the same picker-staves; and the figure shuttles are raised and lowered as required by pinions having a reciprocating rotary motion on a shaft, their presentation being determined by a pattern-wheel, having movable cam-surfaces <

oe-peg. Wires for shoe-fastenings, etc. i, Wickersham's short-twist round-thread wire. j, Blake and Libby's lenticular wire-nail. k l, Smith's polygonal metallic peg. m n, Townsend's polygonal wire, before and after twisting. o p, Townsend's wire; thread raised by pressure. q, Dudley's angular wire, with grooved faces. r, mode of making Dudley's wire. s, Proctor's wire, with serrated edges for burring and feed cylinders. t, Beatty's flat perforated wire. u, Bigelow's shoe-wire, circumferential grooves; no thread. The general process of manufacturing iron wire on a considerable scale is as follows:— The rods, from 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter, received from the rolling-mills in bundles, are heated and rerolled in grooved rollers, one above the other, so that the rod runs from the first roll to the second, and so on, without reheating. The rollers run with great rapidity, reducing the rod to a coarse wire which is then passed through the successiv
