MARCH 4TH, 1943 FLIGHT Advertisements Every metal has its individual attributes, but Thonw* Duulsavcr s composite sheet of copper and silver played a double part, economising by using a baser metal for the built, yet having a substantial veneer of silver* The process was quickly taken up, steel dies were cut and beautiful designs were produced, so that Sheffield plate not only became popular at home out also abroad. So far there has been no Thomas Doulsover to invent a short cut in ball-bearing manufacture; from the very beginning only the best materials are good enough, while accuracy is attainable only by the strictest adherence to the finest methods and established principles.

But the materials and the methods hav: their hrmtct'ions, and these limitations challenge the craftsman, so that he turns them to account, and they become part of the beauty of his work and a source of its strength.

Jean Tijou's repousse style has a striking foreign beauty about it, but although for a while it was blended into some English work it died out again.
