These Tyles are (by our common Bricklayers) call'd Travis, or Travas Tyles; but I suppose it should rather be Travers Tyles; for the word Travers is perfect French, signifying Irregularity; these..Travers Tyles are..irregular plain Tyles, viz. Such as have the Pin-holes broken out, or one of the lower Corners broken off. These they lay (with the broken ends upwards) upon Rafters, where pin'd Tyles cannot hang).
