teazer breaks clay plug in tapping hole of cupola with a pointed steel bar, so releasing molten metal, which falls into ladle; periodically taps slag at slag holes; usually done by furnaceman ( 171) q.v. tapper, tapper-out (iron and steel manufacture) dries refractory clay in tapping hole and spout of furnace by lighting a fire underneath; when furnace is ready to be tapped or emptied, drills or hammers out clay with which tapping holes are closed, and keeps molten steel flowing by means of a long bar. tapper (rolling mill); taps steel plates with hammer to detect flaws by ring of metal; obsolescent. tapper (zinc extraction) see drawer (zinc extraction). tapping man (lead extraction) tester (chain testing house) an examiner q.v. in charge of a testing house where chains are tested under tension; directs operation of test house labourers in fixing chains in testing machine; controls power levers and supervises reading of dials and record of test. examiner (cycles)

copper strip worker feeds copper rod ,etc., into rolling mill to make copper strip; feeds copper strip into tube drawing machine, in which it is drawn through die to make copper tube. drawer, copper tape as for drawer, copper strip. drawer (puddling) draws out, with tongs, a pile of iron from heating furnace for re-working, e.g., rolling, may help to feed furnace, if coal fired, or to regulate gas valves; sometimes specifically designated according to article for which iron is being worked, e.g., chain drawer. drawer, sample
