BENT GLASS.
More Used Now Than Overflow II II
Formed Into Shape.

Bent glass was at one time more ccm.
monty Used for showcase fronts than for
anything else, but it has come to be EN-.
ployed for a variety of purposes and 1t Is
now used far more extensively than ever
before. Its use in store fronts Is becoming
more and more familiar, very large plates
being bent for this purpose 1t is now used
more than ever before in the construction
Of buildings for dwelling purposes, In
windows on rounded corners and in tow.
ers 1t Is used in coach fronts it is used
In the rounded front china closets and in
making glass cabinets. Either plain glass
or beveled glass may be bent, and to any
curve.
For one Use and another glass In many
sizes is now bent in many forms The
number of molds required for current
use in glass bending establishment Is
large, and the accumulated molds num-
Der thousands
Glass Is bent in kiln. Glass melts at
$500 degrees. The heat employed in bend
ing is 1880 degrees. No pyromcter would
stand long in that heat. IL might last an
hour, but it would not last day, and so
the heat of tho kiln is judged from the
BY long experience and observation tho
expert glass bender Is enabled to estimate
the heat in this manner with accuracy
Smaller pieces of glass are put into tho
molds in the kilns with forks made for the
purpose. The great molds used for bend
ing large sheets of glass are mounted on
cars, so that they can be rolled in and out
of the kilns, The glass is laid upon the
top of the mold over the cavity and it is
bent by its own weight AS it is softened
by the heat it sinks into the mold and SO
is bent into forms. 1t may take an hour
or two to bend the glass, which is then left
in the kiln from ~ to 86 hours TO unncal

Kind or size it may be, is put into tho
kilns in its finished state The great heat
to which it is subjected does not dist rb

Of every precaution more or less glass is
broken in bending it. Bent glass cost about
50per cent more than the lat.-New York
