Bricking-up
A relative term for bricklaying, and meant by moulders to imply the process of forming the containing-walls of a loam-mould. Bricks in this instance take the place of flasks, the needed rigidity being imparted by binding-plates which, if necessary, may be further strengthened by bolting the sections together. The sweep-board is the guide for laying, and the bricks are set apart for fine cinders to form passages for the gases. See ROUGHING-UP; SKINNING-LOAM; SWEEP-BOARD; BINDING-PLATES; COURSE; FILLING-IN.
