New American Industry Gets Its Start
Fragile-looking eggshell porcelain teapots made from Tennessee Valley clay are among the first all-American products of their kind, made possible through the research of Robert E. Gould at Norris Dam. Those on the left are two pots from the same mold. That at right is the larger because it has not yet been fired. Electric firing overs (upper left) were de.signed to make use of the vast Norris Dam power supply that waits only the throwing of a switch (upper right) to work for the potential new ceramics industry.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Jan. 6.—Within the shadow small group of men have transformed gray Tennessee Valley clay into light, white, egg-shell porcelain dinnerware that is acclaimed as fine as any in the world—the first time that porcelain has been made from clay

Up to now, either the clay or the finished product has been imported from Europe or Asia. And capping the achievement of opening America’s clay deposits to industry, for the first time the firing or baking has been
done by electricity. According to S. T. Henry of Spruce Pine, N. C., who conceived the idea for the experiment, their success will have far-reaching consequences. . . It means, for instance, that high grade dinnerware will become available in this country at a low price —possibly low enough so it can be sold in the lowest-priced stores.
New Industry Seen
It means a new, major industry in the United States. Now you have only to look at the back| of your plates, cups and saucers to see that
they come from Japan, England, France, Poland and Czecho-Slo-vakia. Hereafter, in times of war, we no longer will have to depend on other countries for kaolin vitally essential to make spark plugs and electric insulation needed in military transport. The fact that North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama have rich deposits of kaolin is not news. Up to now small quantities of it have been used in a mixture with imported kaolin. The real news is that- porcelain can be made from the native clay. Also that, in such a refined state, it can take the/place of imported kaolin. Mr. Henry and TVA administrators. picked Robert E. Gould, an American ceramics engineer, to head the experimental laboratories. Mr. Gould, then chief engineer of a ceramics plant in Poland, picked his staff ‘and set to work. After months of experimenting with a washing and settling “process that

Next was tackled the job of firing by electricity. \Up to now electricity had been used in a small way in gring decorations on porcelain ware, but this called for a temi mc only around 900 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas the TVA researchers required a temperature of 2500 or more degrees for fusing

the kaolin, felspar and quartz into porcelain. The use of heat units made of metal was out of the picture. Metal would not stand up under such heat. Experiments were made with other materials. Finally carborundum bars were decided on. They worked. See Waste Reduced Mr. Gould and his electrical experts want to find a material that will last even longer than carborundum. They think that they have found it. It is graphite in .a vacuum inside a carborundum bar. One furnace with such resistors has been kept at 2600 degrees since last April and the units haven't burned out yet. A much larger kiln is being built. It will be the only one in the country and a high degree of efficiency is expected of it. J ‘Up to now ceramic plants have fired with oil, gas or coke.
