The following article was brought to my attention by one of Gray & Pape's
architectural historians:

Gordon, Steve
1994  "Decorative and Functional Clay Tile: Architectural Design in Ohio
1875-1920"  Tile Heritage: A Review of American Tile History.  Tile Heritage
Foundation.  Spring Vol.1(1):10-21.

This article has _some_ information on ceramic drain tile.

The editor of the magazine (and quarterly newsletter) asked me to tell
"histarchers" that he would _love_ to receive articles submitted by
archaeologists for publication concerning ceramic tiles (drain tiles in
particular!) recovered on archaeological sites.  The information follows:
