Il existait deux façons de faire des tuiles plates : la fabrication en pâte molle et la fabrication en pâte dure. […] Dans la fabrication en pâte dure, l'argile ne doit contenir que peu d'eau. Elle est à peine mouillée et malaxée avec de puissantes machines. Ces tuiles sont moulées à fortes pressions dans des appareils huilés, en fonte.
