The _Plattin_ is commonly made of Beechen-Planck, two Inches and an half thick, its length about fourteen Inches, and its breadth about nine Inches. Its sides are Tryed Square, and the Face or under-side of the _Plattin_ Plained exactly straight and smooth. Near the four Corners on the upper-side, it hath four Iron _Hooks_ as at _a a a a_, whose Shanks are Wormed in. In the middle of the upper-side is let in and fastned an Iron Plate called the _Plattin-Plate_, as _b b b b_, a quarter of an Inch thick, six Inches long, and four Inches broad; in the middle of this Plate is made a square Iron Frame about half an Inch high, and half an Inch broad, as at _c_. Into this square Frame is fitted the _Stud_ of the _Plattin Pan_, so as it may stand steddy, and yet to be taken out and put in as occasion may require. The _Stud_ marked _d_, is about an Inch thick, and then spreads wider and wider to the top (at _e e e e_) of it, till it becomes about two Inches and an half wide; and the sides of this spreading being but about half a quarter of an Inch thick makes the _Pan_. In the middle of the bottom of this _Pan_ is a small Center hole Punch’d for the _Toe_ of the _Spindle_ to work in. ¶. 19. _Of the_ Points _and_ Point-Screws. The Points are made of Iron Plates about the thickness of a Queen _Elizabeth_ Shilling: It is delineated at e in Plate 9. which is sufficient to shew the shape of it, at the end of this Plate, as at _a_, stands upright the Point. This _Point_ is made of a piece of small Wyer about a quarter and half quarter of an Inch high, and hath its lower end Filed away to a small Shank about twice the length of the thickness of the Plate; so that a Sholder may remain. This small Shank is fitted into a small Hole made near the end of the Plate, and Revetted on the other side, as was taught _Numb._ 2. _Fol._ 24. At the other end of the Plate is filed a long square notch in the Plate as at _b c_ quarter and half quarter Inch wide, to receive the square shank of the _Point-Screws_. The _Point-Screw_ marked f is made of Iron; It hath a thin Head about an Inch square, And a square Shank just under the Head, an Inch deep, and almost quarter and half quarter Inch square, that the square Notch in the hinder end of the Plate may slide on it from end to end of the Notch; Under this square Shank is a round Pin filed with a Male-Screw upon it, to which is fitted a _Nut_ with a Female-Screw in it, and Ears on its outside to twist about, and draw the Head of the Shank close down to the _Tympan_, and so hold the _Point-Plate_ fast in its Place. ¶. 20. _Of the_ Hammer, _described at_ h, _and_ Sheeps-Foot _described at_ i _in Plate_ 9. The _Hammer_ is a common _Hammer_ about a quarter of a Pound weight; It hath no _Claws_ but a _Pen_, which stands the _Press-man_ instead when the _Chase_ proves so big, that he is forced to use small _Quoins_. The Figure of the _Sheeps-Foot_ is description sufficient. Its use is to nail and un-nail the _Balls_.
