Drying of Claywaer.
By J. T. Linzey, Benhar Potteries.

The degree of control in the drying of clayware varies from practically nil in the heavy products such as pipes and bricks through simple waste heat dryers, to complex continuous humidity-controlled infra-red dryers used for fine pottery and electrical porcelain. The importance of compounding a clay body that would yield up its water readily was stressed. Discussion of uses and limitations of usual forms of commercial dryers: Natural drying, steam floors, hot-air and waste-heat batch dryers, humidity-controlled dryers, infrared dryers.
