CHAPTER XI.
Spraying versus Brushing.
It will be convenient now to consider the length of time involved in spraying, as compared with that involved when painters' brushes are used.
In dealing with this question, it should be pointed out that while some little gain is apparent in the actual time occupied in handling the article, which is mostly done on turn-tables when spraying, yet no note is taken here of the difference in handling, but only the time occupied in covering the article with paint, japan, etc.
We will take, by way of example, a modern gas fire. Very few of these are now brushed. It is the consensus of opinion that a gas fire takes 10 minutes to brush.
