Fig. 2

Of the ten tools, six will be known as tint-tools, three as spit-sticks,

one as scauper. The tint-tools cut lines of uniform width from extreme

fineness (No. 1) to much greater width (No. 6). They are used for tinting,

that is, cutting a series of lines to produce a tint or shade; for

outlining, especially lettering; and for scauping. The numbers used here

are for descriptive convenience only. When ordering, the actual width of

cut required should be given, otherwise the purchaser may receive

something very different from what was expected.
