- Description:
Liable to breakage, although, when packed in crates so that the contents can be readily seen, breakage is usually found to be less than if packed in a complete case. Suppliers sometimes forward a quantity additional to the invoiced amount as an allowance for breakage, and this should be taken into account when deter mining loss. Partly broken slates have a small value as corner pieces.
Should be unaffected by immersion in fresh or salt water: only claim should be in respect of cleaning, i.e. removal of silt, etc. See also TILES.
