For instance, if a 14 in × 20 in (360 mm × 510 mm) plate is desired the tin bar is cut to a length and width that is divisible by 14 and 20. The bar is then rolled and doubled over, with the number of times being doubled over dependent on how large the tin bar is and what the final thickness is. If the starting tin bar is 20 in × 56 in (510 mm × 1,420 mm) then it must be at least finished on the <i>fours</i>, or doubled over twice, and if a thin gauge is required then it may be finished on the <i>eights</i>, or doubled over three times. The tin bar is then heated to a dull <a href="/wiki/Red_heat" title="Red heat">red heat</a> and passed five or six times through the roughing rolls. Between each pass the plate is passed over (or round) the rolls, and the gap between the rolls is narrowed by means of a screw.
