A tunnel kiln fires in 24 hours and a roller kiln in 40 minutes. Roughly how many times faster is the roller kiln?

  • A.about 40 times
  • B.about 60 times
  • C.about 36 times
  • D.about 24 times

Answer: C

Twenty-four hours is 1,440 minutes, and dividing by 40 gives 36. Cycle times of this order changed the economics of tile making completely when they were introduced. Faster firing also cut work in progress and floor space dramatically.
