Full context always helps : Conte (a French officer in Napoleon's army) patented the modern method of kiln-firing powdered graphite with clay to make graphite rods for pencils He developed a technique for hardening powdered graphite [graphite that had been ground up] into rods and sheets by putting it into a kiln and firing it.
