Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ...smoke, etc. Some articles are imbedded in white sand to retain their shape, and hollow ware is set in the saggars, with smaller articles inside the larger ones. When the saggar is filled a roll of clay is placed around the top of it. This roll of clay serves to keep the saggars firm and steady when placed on one another and to exclude the dust and smoke from the ware. The saggars are placed in the kiln one above the other to the height of the crown, and each column of saggars is called a bung. This is continued until the kiln is filled to the doorway, which is closed with brick and plastered with clay mortar. About forty-eight hours are required to complete the firing, and during that time frequent tests are made to note the progress of the firing and for the purpose of regulating the heat at the different furnace mouths. These tests or trials are made by drawing from the trial holes at different parts of the kiln, with an iron rod, small pieces of clay on which has been placed pulverized feld spar or glaze mixture. The heat required to complete the burning must be so high as to fuse the feld spar into an imperfect white glass, and that the trial piece of clay is so hard that it cannot be scratched with a knife or steel instrument. Ahout forty-eight hours are allowed for the kiln and its contents to cool down before the ware is taken out, which is then of a pure white color and rough to the touch. The ware is now in a state called bisque, and must receive a coating of glaze mixture and placed in another kiln, called the glost kiln, for a second burning. Of the mixing and preparing of the glazes, glazing the ware and firing the ware the second time, we will treat of in our next ISSUE. Plume & Atwood Bicycle lamps are daily achieving a...

Book Description
This volume is the first to illustrate the application of rhetorical theory and critical perspectives to explain public relations practices. It provides a systematic and coherent statement of the critical guidelines and philosophical underpinnings of public relations and as such should guide pedagogy and practice. It also supplies pedagogic and critical standards with which to meet the needs of an increasingly sophisticated society that tends to reject all of public relations as propaganda. With the enormous amount of money spent on product publicity and public policy debates, this book gives practitioners a sense of whether their public relations campaigns make a contribution to the organizational bottom line by means of achieving the timeless standards of the art of rhetoric.
