Aerospace Ceramics Jargon When scientists and engineers needed to describe surface locations of space shuttle tiles, previous ceramics vernacular proved inade­ quate, and an aerospace technology jargon developed that may have application to the ceramics field. The side of a rectangular tile which is not an outer facing side is the inner mold line (IML) and is the surface bonded to the metal substructure of the space shuttle.

^\structure surface

If the surface is a compound curve, such as the inside shape of a bowl, the interior sur­ face volume is the IML. The sides of a rectangular tile exposed to the air or heat flow are designated the outer mold line (OML). This would be the same as the exterior clay wall of a bowl. The big­ gest discovery for me as a ceramist occurred when I realized the OML design contour and the IML design contour no longer had to be parallel as they had been on thin-walled, tra­ ditional vessels. On a space shuttle, the OML is coated with glaze, but the IML is not coated. The edge of the glaze coating on the OML is

known as the terminator line. When a potter dips a bowl in glaze, the foot is usually left unglazed; the edge of this glaze coating could also be known as a terminator line.

October 1982 11 12 C eramics Monthly Suggestions from our readers

Junkyard Banding Wheel For an almost free banding wheel, bolt a plywood circle on an old automobile water pump. It may be necessary to search for a pump that is flat on one side. After assembly the wheel should turn as smoothly and evenly as any commercial model. —Karen Shuler Johnson, McClellanville, S.C. Permanently Centered Chuck A permanent chuck for trimming teapots and narrow-necked forms can be made by centering an old flowerpot on a wooden bat and then screwing it securely in place through the drainage hole. —Alan H. Bolton, Bexley, Kent, England Flexible Handles To avoid cracking commercial cane handles when attaching them through lugs, hold the opened cane ends over steam to make them soft and flexible. Following attachment, the ends will rapidly stiffen, ensuring a good fit. —Linda Mau, Campbell, Calif. Quick Strainer A variable speed electric drill provides a quick and efficient way to make holes in leather-hard clay colanders. —Mark Cartright, Areata, Calif. Test Tile Trolley Freshly glazed test tiles can be strung through their holes on long barbecue skewers or thin curtain rods and hung over an empty cardboard carton to dry. Handling of the tiles is reduced and the carton is easily transported to the kiln for loading. Notch the card­ board edges where the skewers will rest as an added precaution. —Elizabeth Eidlitz, Hopkinton, Mass. Screen Salvage When studio sieves break, it is generally in the middle and good portions are often left. These can be made into useful small sieves by cutting out the good part and finding a can the wire mesh will fit with about a ½-inch margin all around (tuna cans often work fine). Cut the bottom out of the can, fit the sieve over it, and secure the cloth with an automotive hose clamp—a thin, perforated metal strap with a screw that tightens it like a belt. The finished sieve is excellent for screening tests, also for slips before feeding them into a trailer. —Lili Krakowski, Constableville, N.Y. Dust-free Storage Try storing safety goggles and dust masks in Ziploc plastic bags to prevent dirt and dust from getting on the inside of the safety lenses. An additional advantage is that keeping goggles and dust masks in the bags discourages hanging them by the elastic strap, thus prolonging their lives. —Matt Blaine, Laurel, Del.

Brush Holder To keep brushes from getting submerged in slip buckets, wire a spring-type clothespin to the side of the bucket. With the brush handle held by the clothespin, the bristles can be left in the slip to keep them from drying out, while the handle remains clean. —Lisa Smernoff, Georgetown, Colo.
