HOW STORAGE AFFECTS GLASS
investigation Made by Eureau OF
Standards Has Led to Some inter-
estlnn Findings.

The conditions under which glass
il stored have a pronounced effect
upon the appearance of the glass.
For some time the bureau Of stand
ards has been studying this problem,
and during the past month several
hundred bottles, which have been in
storage six months under different
conditions Of storage and packing,
were examined.
The results show quite definitely
the better condition Of ware stored
in a dry place with an even tempera-
ture, as compared with outdoor con-
ditions, or very humid room, the
latter being much more productive
Of scummed bottles. Bottles packed
in thin tiber-board boxes were in bet
ter condition than those packed in
open crates, while bottles wrapped
tightly in paper were in worse con-
dition than those not wrapped. Cork
or paper shoppers did not assist
greatly in reducing the amount of
weathering, but rubber shoppers
nearly eliminated it. Dust seemed
to accelerate the trouble. Samples
stored in factory warehouses and at
Panama still are to be investigated.
