Paper, 'The method of making tin plates extracted from the memoires of the Academy of Sciences for the year 1725' by William Rutty Rutty explains how the making of tin-plates, or 'lattin', is not commonly practised in England, and suggests that this is either because the method is not sufficiently known, or because 'in use to make small quantities for particular purposes is much too dear to answer the artificer's expectation in making larger [quantities]'.
