seal n The seal-vat consists of what are termed the crib and the pan. The crib is a strong wooden erection, from twenty to thirty feet square, and twenty to twenty-five feet in height. It is firmly secured with iron clamps, and the interstices between the upright posts are filled in with small round poles. It has a strong timber floor, capable of sustaining 300 or 400 tons. The crib stands in a strong wooden pan, three or four feet larger that the square of the crib, so as to catch all the drippings. PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit W. J.
