Excerpt from Sixty Years a Brickmaker: A Practical Treatise on Brickmaking and Burning and the Management and Use of Different Kinds of Clays and Kilns for Burning Brick The progress that has been made in the manufacture of brick and all kinds of clay goods in the past twenty five years, renders much of what has been written by theorists, obsolete.

Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VII. Theory of D rying Clay to Prevent Cracking. The Reason W.'y There are So Few Scientific Brick Burners. Superiority of Good Brick Buildings Over all Other Kinds. How to Build a Cheap and Most Excellent Duelling House. In my last chapter, No. 6, I showed the difference between burning soft tempered clay brick and brick made of comparatively dry pulverized clay, under heavy pressure. As there are many who do not understand why all k inds of clay may be pressed into a brick without cracking, when it is dry and well pulverized, while perhaps the same clay will crack by hot sun drying, or in a dryer, I will repeat what I have before said, that all clays of a marley or limy character, will crack in drying, unless dried very slow. But such clay could bo dried on dryers if put on pallets, and the dryer closed steam tight, and then kept full of steam until the brick would be heated clear through; then the steam turned off and hot air, about 212 degrees Fahr., turned in on the brick. It is obvious that the brick would not crack by exposure to steam, as that would slightly expand the brick, and of course, there could be no shrinkage of the clay, until the steam would be turned off. Then if dry heat was turned on the brick, no greater than the heat inside the brick, it would only akl and hasten the evaporation of the hot waterinside the brick. The surface would not contract but very little faster than the center of it, because the steam inside would keep the pores open, and the shrinkage would be thus equalized, and as soon as the steam would be out of the brick, the whole body of particles of clay would assume at once, their (crystallized) form, and a compact mass unchecked and without crack would be seen. Now here is the proof of this...
