These two experiments show that very little effect is produced in 3 hours, the usual time elapsing between taking the sumple and making the briquette. The sample was kept in the sealed tin while waiting.

Experiments with Standard Red Earth and Various Limes.

All briquettes were tested 14 days after making. Line was taken from K. M. L. 88, supplied by Lam Woo.

Earth and Lime used in the tests were passed through a sieve of 40 meshes to the inch. The mixing was thorough and done with as little water as possible.

The briquettes were taken out of the moulds as soon as they were made and dried as before described.

Several briquettes of earth and lime made for this experiment were left in the moulds for 15 hours, these were found to be cracked in the centre when taken out and could not be suspended in the clips..
