However, notwithstanding the use of cupro-manganese, the tin, as in ordinary bronzes, has a tendency to liquate in those portions of the mould which are the hottest, and which become solid the last, especially in the case of moulds having a great width.
The lead which these cakes liquate, when they are melted in the furnace, weighs about nine _centumpondia_, in each _centumpondium_ of which there is a quarter of a _libra_ and more than a _sicilicus_ of silver; and seven _unciae_ of silver remain in the exhausted liquation cakes and in the liquation thorns.
The liquation thorns do not flow away, but remain in the passage, and should be turned over frequently with a hooked bar, in order that the silver-lead may liquate away from them and flow down into the receiving pit; that which remains is again melted in the blast furnace, while that which flows into the receiving pit is at once carried with the remaining products to the cupellation furnace, where the lead is separated from the silver.
