✦ Synopsis

A discussion of the probable relation between linear thermal expansion, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, and the resistance of fire-clay brick to thermal spalling is presented by R. A. Heindl in a current issue of the American Refractories Institute Bulletin.

Because of the readiness with which the linear thermal expansion of the usual type of fire-clay brick decreases, or in the case of the siliceous type of brick increases, when heated
