THE CARDIFF KILNS (LEE’S PATENT) HIGH-CLASS CAN be burned BETTER and They are CHEAP to erect, EASY TO BURN. AND ARE It has long been admitted that the “Down-draught” is the only reliable Kiln for burning the highest class goods, and the best for ordinary purposes, the only drawback to its general adoption for lower grade wares and Building Bricks being the heavy consumption of fuel. THIS, the ONLY disadvantage, is ENTIRELY overcome by the patent CARDIFF KILN, and the improvements recently devised in their construction, whereby all the advantages of the HOFFMANN system are combined with those of DOWN-DRAUGHT system, while avoiding the defects of the Hoffmann, thus rendering these kilns the BEST, CHEAPEST, and MOST ECONOMICAL of all modern kilns, producing the BEST GOODS at the LOWEST COST. The system may be applied to existing Down-draught Kilns at very moderate cost.
