Title A name given to the resource Pill-Making Apparatus Description An account of the resource This pill-making apparatus consists of a board and a roller with two handles. The roller has two sets of wheels, allowing it to roll backwards and forwards over the board. The board and roller are fitted with matching corrugated brass plates. Pill resin would be rolled into a tube and placed on the corrugated surface of the board. The roller would then be used to push the resin through the grooves of the board, creating individual, consistently sized pills.
