A bstract An electric furnace is described, designed for determining the transverse strength of 9‐in. brick to temperatures as high as 1500°C. It is especially useful when a large number of brick are to be tested because the samples, which have been preheated in a second furnace, may he easily introduced and withdrawn while the furnace is held at breaking temperature.
