This paper comprises the address of the Chairman of the Enamel Division of the A merican C eramic S ociety at the Atlantic City Meeting, February, 1924. Among the suggestions for development in enameling technology are: The more general use of melted weights in representing enamel compositions; the use of coefficient of thermal expansion factors; improvement in the mechanical properties of enamel glasses by increasing the percentages of zinc oxide, boric oxide and titanium oxide, and by the use of thinner coatings; the widening of the heat range of ground coat enamel compositions by the use of more complex compositions than are now employed; and, finally, the more careful control of variation in the composition of the feldspars used in making enamels.
