Strickle
A straight edge may be classed as a strickle when the edge is bevelled for the purpose of cutting sand or loam.
Any board or iron plate used for fashioning cores or moulds, loam-boards for pipe-cores, pipe-sweeps, loam-moulders' sweep-boards, etc., are all classed, according to locality, as strickles, strikes, or sweeps. In skilful hands the strickle affords an excellent opportunity for the display of high-class moulding. Each of the devices mentioned are explained in order as they occur. See FORMER.
