A bstract The increased rate of drying caused by low pressures on the ware is a factor in drying which must be recognized particularly with large shapes and in drier car settings of considerable heights. Pressures of the magnitude encountered under these conditions were found to increase the rate of drying as high as 58% in the case of some clays, causing the unloaded portions to have 3.30 times as much water as the loaded portions during certain periods of drying. All clays are effected to a greater or less extent, but it is most prominent in clays of low plasticity.
