Clays And Shales Of Minnesota Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Clays and Shales of Minnesota This bulletin gives the results of an investigation of the clay resources of Minnesota made during 1912 and 1913. In general the Object of the work has been to assist in the development of the clay resources of the State. The broader problems of Ceramics are treated only incidentally, but some of the important scientific conclusions Of the American Ceramic Society, of the Bureau of Standards, and Of surveys of other States are briefly reviewed in order that they may be more readily available to those whose chief interests are technical and commercial. A more extended treatment of the scientific results Of the investigation will be published later. Specifically, the Object has been to investigate the brick supply for every town of or more inhabitants and for every county in the State, to ascertain the extent of several deposits now developed at only a few points, to find new deposits, and to determine the qualities Of these deposits and of certain mixtures so as to ascertain whether it is possible to produce refractory wares, pottery, paving brick, and other high-grade products.

Excerpt from The Clays and Shales of Virginia West of the Blue Ridge This report outlines the distribution of the clay and shale-bearing forma tions within the Appalachian Mountains province of Virginia, together with their possible uses. The field work was carried on by the authors in the summer of 1916, and the territory contiguous to the different lines of trans portati on searched as thoroughly as time would permit. Many samples were collected for testing, and it is believed that these will give important clues regarding the possible uses of the clays and shales in the Appalachian Mountains province of the State. Neither time nor funds were available to test out the extent of the deposits in detail, and moreover such work is more properly carried out by private individuals. The results obtained indicate that the Appalachian Mountains province in Virginia contains a greater Variety of plastic materials than either the Piedmont or Coastal Plain provinces, and that it includes clays suitable for common and pressed brick, drain tile, hollow blocks, fire brick, electric porcelain, earthenware, paper, paint, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
