Scope and Contents
(Printed on photo in white “Depositing Floor – Steam Harrowing”) View showing method of harrowing the Blue during the weathering period. The Blue is constantly harrowed by means of heavy harrows drawn backwards 7 forwards over the floors by wire ropes operated by heavy traction engines. In this way fresh faces are presented to the air, and greatly increases the rapidity of dis-integration.
