Notes about James Scott
1. Calenderer - Calender: A machine consisting of two or more cylinders revolving so nearly in contact with each other that cloth passed between them is smoothed and glazed by their pressure; an establishment in which woven fabrics are calendered, starched, stretched and otherwise finished for the market; one engaged in calendering; a calenderer - vt. To press or finish in a calender.
2. Well, a brick burner was the man - nowadays they do it all by electronics - but in those days a brick burner, he had a little hut on the top of his, on the kiln, the huge kiln, which have now been demolished of course, and every so many hours he used to have to go round the kiln, take the lid off the top of the firing hole where they had a heap of very fine coal slag, look down the hole into the kiln where the bricks had already been stacked, and by his sighting of this he could tell almost to a degree what the temperature was. And it had to be kept up to a certain temperature for a certain period of time so that at the end of that period the bricks were absolutely burnt as they should be.
3. Brick Burner: worked in a brick works, person in charge of the kiln responsible for ensuring correct temperature during firing.
