ABSTRACT This paper is a progress report covering the work done by the Bureau of Standards during the past three years on the problem of cast glass pots. The work done is essentially an application of the results of research reported in previous Bureau publications and contains data on body compositions, the arching of pots and their resistance to optical glass. The following conclusions were made: ( a ) The casting of porcelain glass pots has passed the experimental stage; ( b ) The content of plastic clay is not of prime importance as long as the body will cast satisfactorily; ( c ) Proper watersmoking practically eliminates fissures and surface cracks; ( d ) Pots should be arched to the highest temperature consistent with the refractoriness of the body.
