A bstract The plastic working properties of a number of clays and bodies were measured with a modified Endell body tester. The apparatus shows that various bodies may be adjusted to a similar consistency for a given molding process but differ in their tendency to crack on being deformed. It is possible to determine the extent to which plastic properties are affected by differences in raw materials, methods of body preparation, water content, aging, and deairing.
