Arch construction is discussed, describing present method of placing fire clay tile. Tile are suspended on cast iron hangers by means of a tee‐shaped slot molded in the top end of each tile, giving room for expansion in every direction. Larger quantities of heat units are released, more intense chemical reactions and there is ample shearing strength and small loss from weight or pressure.
