By Noah Webster.
-
The act of creating an artificial flood at shallows in a river, by penning up the water either in the river itself or in side reservoirs; in arch. pieces of lead, zinc, or other metal, used to protect the joining when a roof comes in contact with a wall, or when a chimney shaft or other object comes through a roof and the like. The metal is let into a joint or groove cut in the wall, etc., and folded down so as to lap over and protect the joining. When the flashing is folded down over the upturned edge of the lead of a gutter it is, in Scotland, called an apron.
