A bstract Further experiments are reported on the bisque firing of plates with mechanical braces to hold them straight. By bracing the rim and bottom of the plate, the force exerted is more than the internal strains in the plate tending toward deformation, and the plates so fired come to the desired degree of straightness, provided the dimensions are correct. The permissible variations in the dimensions are not more than = 0.001 inch. This dimension is attained by trimming the feet and rings in the leather‐hard state to the prescribed measurements. A new method of making flatware cheaply by casting the plate and overcasting the foot is described. This method is successful if the mechanical bracing in the firing process is used.
