(July 1930) Mouldstone built into linhay at Colleytown Farm, Sheepstor. Detailed measurements given, photograph and line drawings published. There is a groove at the centre of each end, and the mould has been deepened by use. The mould would hold about 120 kilograms of tin and the sample mould yield an ingot just over 1 kilogram.
(The blowing house to the east is SX56NE/67. It almost certainly came from there).
