h a sheet of tin-foil, cuts the lining from the same, and affixes it within the cap. By a combined apparatus the caps are automatically varnished. The fulminate is kept wet during the operations of filling, and not more than twelve ounces of the composition is allowed in an establishment at one time. Metallic cartridge-shells are primed with fulminate and varnished in the inside in the same way as caps, but the tin-foil is generally dispensed with. The separate caps for Parker's and Maynard's, and some other central-fire cartridges are made in the same manner as guncaps, but the shells are shallower. They are inserted in depressions in the head of the cartridge, the head of the cap on a line with the surrounding shell and forming part of the head of the cartridge. Per-cus′sion-cap Hold′--er.
