Lime preparation at 18th-century Louisbourg / by Charles S. Lindsay.: R61-2/1-12E-PDF
"The equipment and techniques used in the preparation of lime for mortar in 18th-century Louisbourg are studied against the background of contemporary practices in France. Two basic types of French kilns and lime-burning techniques are identified, as are two methods of slaking the burnt lime. Parallels for all these structures and techniques are found at Louisbourg"--Abstract, p. 6.
