Les tuyaux en grès vernissé s’obtiennent par étirage à la filière et cuisson d’une pâte bien corroyée d’argiles sélectionnées. La cuisson est poussée jusqu'à la vitrification, soit à température voisine de 1 300 °. Il en résulte un produit imperméable à l'eau et qui résiste parfaitement aux acides. Les produits en grès doivent leur aspect brillant à la mince couche de verre qui les recouvre; elle se forme à la fin de la cuisson, après introduction dans le four de sel de cuisine. Du point de vue utilitaire, ce vernis, supprimant la rugosité, facilite l'écoulement de l'eau. 1, record 2, French, - tuyau%20en%20gr%C3%A8s%20verniss%C3%A9

A saltbox is a building with a long, pitched roof that slopes down to the back, generally a wooden frame house. A saltbox has just one story in the back and two stories in the front. The flat front and central chimney are recognizable features, but the asymmetry of the unequal sides and the long, low rear roof line are the most distinctive features of a saltbox, which takes its name from its resemblance to a wooden lidded box in which salt was once kept. 3, record 7, English, - saltbox%20house
Record number: 7, Textual support number: 2 CONT
More a building shape than a building style, the saltbox takes its name from a sloping gable roof that gives the house the shape of a wooden box used to store salt in Colonial times, like the reproduction of a 1770s saltbox by Replitiques. The saltbox house is formed by a one-story addition across the rear of a 1-1/2 or 2-story building. Initially an easy method of enlarging a house, it eventually became an accepted building form, particularly in New England after 1680. The style was common in New England before 1830, and it remained popular in other parts of the country until the late 1800s. A variation of early Colonial or Cape Cod style houses, the practical and simple saltbox was often a single room deep. Given that often a dozen or more people crowded into these early homes, colonists soon began looking for practical ways to expand living space. 1, record 7, English, - saltbox%20house
