Abstract

ABSTRACTReasons are given as to why the tunnel kiln seems to be the best type of kiln for structural clay products. The downdraft tunnel kiln is the most efficient and most practical form of kiln for most clay products.The improvements made in the Richardson downdraft tunnel kiln are described. Recent improvements in the flat suspened arch are described and illustrated and improvements in car frame, car platform, and baffle are given.A new tunnel kiln, the Richardson muffle‐car, double‐track tunnel kiln, is also described and illustrated. This kiln is thought to be well adapted for floor and wall tile and some pottery, saving in handling and breakage of saggers.
