A bstract In 1936, recirculating‐type gas tubes, fired by a Kemp carburetor system, were substituted in a continuous decorating kiln for electric heating elements. Operating results, after a six months’period, established the equivalent gas and electricity requirements and showed satisfactory operating results. A second continuous kiln fired by the same system has also been constructed. The application of heating to different types of circular and straight kilns is discussed.
