DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Manufacture of Roofing TilesFig. 3 - Robinson's Tile, made at Germantown, Ohio, about 1814.To the right in the picture stands a corner of the new library build ing, upon which can be seen roofing tiles of modern manufacture. A more striking contrast could scarcely have been found, the one tile show ing the marks of time and the primitive methods of manufacture of a century ago, while the other presents a roof of the present day.The Robinson tile at Germantown was probably a sporadic case only, and does not probably stand for the introduction of the industry, as we have no evidence that be manufactured tiles for other than his own needs.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
