A cost system for a clay plant is described, by means of which complete records are kept of the condition of the plant each day as compared with an established standard. The results of such a system are a more perfect understanding between superintendent and general manager as to the actual factory conditions and increased efficiency in plant control. Graphic charts keep the information before the executives and workmen alike, thus leaving no one in ignorance of the progress of the work as compared with the established standard.
