About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1867 edition. Excerpt: ...should be used, under any circumstances, because no other material makes so perfect a drain, is so durable, or so cheap. The value of tiles depend upon their form, the quality of the clay of which they are made, and the perfection of the burning. Horseshoe tiles--that is, those of which the end represents a semicircle, with the sides compressed a little, were, many years since, extensively used in England; but this form has, by everybody in that country, been abandoned for better. The water running through them, softens the floor on which they stand, and consequently one, or both sides sink down, and the drain is obstructed. This difficulty is obviated by the use of soles, of the same or some other suitable material; but this adds to the expense and trouble of laying. Narrow boards are used in this country instead of soles. This increases the cost, and the drains, when finished, have only the durability of the wood that is used. Sole tiles are, in general, nearly of the same form, but with the sole added in the manufacture. These are far better than horse-shoe tiles, but are still liable to some objections. Being widest at the bottom, the stream of water, when but little is flowing, is spread out over a wide surface, or it makes for itself a narrow channel, which turns from side to side of the tiles, and deposits in its course the sand which always finds its way into the drains, sometimes stopping them altogether; while, if the tiles were contracted at the bottom, the water would flow along the center in a straight line, and carry the sand out of the drain. Another objection grows out of the necessity of laying them all the same side up; for, if warped in drying or burning, as tiles are liable to be, it is impossible, at all times, to...
