.—It points out the advantages and disadvantages of stack draft compared with fan draft and the necessary calculations for stability. It discusses the merits of the various cross‐sections and the difference in stability of round, octagon and square stacks. (Fig. 1.) Theoretical Consideration .—Calculations on dead weight and wind pressure are made on an average sized periodic kiln stack and the conclusion is reached that it is necessary to figure each stack section as a beam, fastened to one end, for compression and tension. (Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5.) Practical Requirements .—A number of essential practical pointers are given for designing or building stacks, all fully illustrated in Figs. 6, 7, 8, 9.
