graphite. See Graphic.] (Min.)

Black lead
(gcide) | Lead \Lead\ (l[e^]d), n. [OE. led, leed, lead, AS. le['a]d; akin
to D. lood, MHG. l[=o]t, G. loth plummet, sounding lead,
small weight, Sw. & Dan. lod. [root]123.]
1. (Chem.) One of the elements, a heavy, pliable, inelastic
metal, having a bright, bluish color, but easily
tarnished. It is both malleable and ductile, though with
little tenacity, and is used for tubes, sheets, bullets,
etc. Its specific gravity is 11.37. It is easily fusible
(melting point 327.5[deg] C), forms alloys with other
metals, and is an ingredient of solder and type metal.
Atomic number 82. Atomic weight, 207.2. Symbol Pb (L.
Plumbum). It is chiefly obtained from the mineral galena,
lead sulphide.
[1913 Webster]
2. An article made of lead or an alloy of lead; as:
(a) A plummet or mass of lead, used in sounding at sea.
(b) (Print.) A thin strip of type metal, used to separate
lines of type in printing.
(c) Sheets or plates of lead used as a covering for roofs;
hence, pl., a roof covered with lead sheets or terne
plates.
[1913 Webster]
I would have the tower two stories, and goodly
leads upon the top. --Bacon
[1913 Webster]
3. A small cylinder of black lead or graphite, used in
pencils.

Black lead, graphite or plumbago; -- so called from its
leadlike appearance and streak. [Colloq.]

between a hand lead and deep-sea lead.
Deep-sea lead, the heaviest of sounding leads, used in
water exceeding a hundred fathoms in depth. --Ham. Nav.
Encyc.
Hand lead, a small lead use for sounding in shallow water.
Krems lead, Kremnitz lead [so called from Krems or
Kremnitz, in Austria], a pure variety of white lead,
formed into tablets, and called also Krems white, or
Kremnitz white, and Vienna white.
Lead arming, tallow put in the hollow of a sounding lead.
See To arm the lead (below).

Same as Massicot.
Lead pencil, a pencil of which the marking material is
graphite (black lead).
Lead plant (Bot.), a low leguminous plant, genus Amorpha
(Amorpha canescens), found in the Northwestern United
States, where its presence is supposed to indicate lead
ore. --Gray.
Lead tree.
(a) (Bot.) A West Indian name for the tropical, leguminous
tree, Leuc[ae]na glauca; -- probably so called from
the glaucous color of the foliage.
(b) (Chem.) Lead crystallized in arborescent forms from a
solution of some lead salt, as by suspending a strip
of zinc in lead acetate.
Mock lead, a miner's term for blende.
Red lead, a scarlet, crystalline, granular powder,
consisting of minium when pure, but commonly containing
several of the oxides of lead. It is used as a paint or
cement and also as an ingredient of flint glass.
Red lead ore (Min.), crocoite.
Sugar of lead, acetate of lead.
To arm the lead, to fill the hollow in the bottom of a
sounding lead with tallow in order to discover the nature
of the bottom by the substances adhering. --Ham. Nav.
Encyc.
To cast the lead, or To heave the lead, to cast the
sounding lead for ascertaining the depth of water.
White lead, hydrated carbonate of lead, obtained as a
white, amorphous powder, and much used as an ingredient of
white paint.
