A simple apparatus has been devised for the comparison of the loss of weight of clays during firing by the direct weighing of the sample while suspended in the furnace. Preliminary results indicate that while the total loss of weight of the different clays varies considerably, the losses in any temperature range expressed in per cent of the total weight lost at 1800°F show a much closer relationship. The comparative ease of control will make it possible to examine the clays under a wide range of conditions.
