Requirements of economy and fuel conservation, and incidentally the elimination of the smoke nuisance, make it necessary for America to follow the lead of Europe in adopting the regenerative continuous kiln of some kind for the burning of all clay products. For common brick the most practical and economical kiln is the annular kiln, a modification of the original Hoffman “Ringofen.” With simple automatic stokers and induced draft there is more rapid advance of the burning of the annular kiln and a greater saving of fuel. The compartment kiln and the tunnel kiln is unnecessarily expensive in installation and upkeep for low‐priced product. Basis of different forms of the annular kiln is given.
