This body casts in a very satisfactory manner. The time of two hours is entirely satisfactory when one considers that the molds were exceptionally dry. The pieces put through the bisque kiln came out without signs of warping or cracking. The appearance of the fired body was all that one could expect, considering that it was lawned through 60‐mesh and was not magneted. With but slight modifications this body can be worked into our plant without any serious inconveniences. The cost of the raw materials entering into the formula of Body No. 6 is about $3.00 per ton less than that of a similar body in which English clays are used. This is for the Trenton district. The results of this work are given more to stimulate interest in the use of domestic materials than to give exact body formulas, it being realized that a formula developed for our peculiar conditions will not necessarily fit into another factory. It is to be hoped that other manufacturers will look into the possibilities of using our American clays.
