cess for manufacturing window glass which
Iif successful will revolutionize that industry
It consists Of rolling the glass exactly as iroI
and steel are rolled, instead Of blowing 1t
The melted glass is brought in ball from
the furnace and conveyed over movable iron
plates TO the rollers. These rollers are heated
underneath by natural gas flames coming
from perforated pipes, thus maintaining the
glass AT a malleable heat and ut the same
temperature throughout its surface. IL is es

produced by this process in given time as
by blowing Experienced glass workers say
that the rolling is practicable if the glass is
kept hot during the operation. In previous
experiments the glass cooled so that it be-
came brittle; but by the use Of natural gas
in the way proposed this difficulty is over
come.
