The plate c is then folded over on its hinge, thus protecting the rim of the cachet from contact with the powder. The powder is next introduced by means of the small funnel, as shown in fig. 47, and pressed down with a thimble. When all the cachets have been filled, the plate c is lifted up, and the damping-roller, which must not be too wet, passed over the edges of the cachets in the plate (fig. 48). A is then folded over u, when a slight pressure closes all the cachets at once. The cachets are pressed out on to a sheet of paper to allow the edges to dry and harden, before being touched with the fingers. Smaller forms of apparatus are worked on the same Fig. 48.--Cachet-apparatus. principle as the larger, the difference being that only three cachets of one size are closed at a time instead of twelve (fig. 50). All Fig. 49.--cachet-apparatus. Lately an improved form of cachet has been introduced under the name of Koseal. In this, the shape of the rim has been altered on the inside by raising a portion, as will be seen in fig. 51. The object of this is to simplify the process of moistening, as some difficulty is occasionally experienced in obtaining just the right degree of dampness when closing the cachets. If made too wet, ordinary cachets are liable to crinkle and look uns...
