Description'Setting' or filling a kiln with 'green' tiles. The kilns are fired slowly for the first 2 days and the firing tested by the trial samples at the top (above the fire-bricks) which can be fished out without completely unsealing the kiln. In all the firing takes 6 days and 4 nights and the kilns are allowed to cool gradually. Photograph 10"x8". WT Jones, 32 Forest Rd, Moseley, Birmingham 13. No 4489. [File -Napton]
