This paper is descriptive of the suitability of the metallic resistor furnace for the application of vitreous enamels. Comparisons are made with fuel fired furnaces. Uniformity and perfect fusion of enamel results from the high grade temperature control of the electric furnace. Atmospheres vitiated with products of combustion can not be present in the electric furnace to give defective coatings. Examples of operating furnaces for watch dials and for bath tubs are given and the average performance, in time and input, for bath tub furnaces. It is believed by the author that the electric heating process can not long be considered as anything but the most economical over all, and its standardization for this purpose will eventually result.
