Description:Factory interior with a view of pottery workers operating a casting machine.

This image appears elsewhere in the collection and was used for a presentation by Blake entitled “Staffordshire Pottery.”

A small folder containing approximately sixty reader cards was found in the same box as the presentation slides. The cards contain information about the images. The card that appears to correspond to this slide reads;

"A Casting Machine. The machine here shown takes sixteen moulds, four being filled simultaneously. Slip is held in the tank above which contains a fan to keep the liquid stirred. Two workers attend to the machine."
