manifested by some of the boys in the
class and they suggested a study of
grain fermentation.
A small quantity of wheat was pro.

in lars to ferment, the instructor said.
Three of the boys wanted 10 remain
after school one evening to devote ad-

request was granted and the school
isnitor saw what was going on and
reported to the school board.
The ultimatum for Hannah to resign

: thickness, and rolls it into a sheet
From the drum it enters the lehr,
moving at the rate of fifty inches
q minute. The lehr is 40 feet long
and annesls the glass under gradually
diminishing heat.
The construction Of the lehr was
one Of the hardest problems and the
one on which all others had fallen
down. We could not have construct
ed il without our experience in con-
veyors and accurate machine making.
1t is no small accomplishment TO sup
port 9 moving sheet Of glass 442 feet
long while it cools from a tempera-
ture of fourteen hundred degrees
Fahrenheit at the roller to a point
where it is cold enough 10 handle.
The movement of the conveyor has
10 be absolutely even and the rollers
on which the glass moves so perfect
" lined and adjusted that at no point
in the 442-foot journey will the glass
be subjected to the slightest distor-
ton. The diminishing temperature
problem is solved BY thermoS atically
controlled gas flames at varying in
tervals.
At the end of the lehr the glass is
cut into 13-inch lengths, each sheet
being the exact size required for six
complete windshields, and then is
carried By ccnveyors to the polish
ing machines.
The sheets are mounted in quickest
ting stucco to hold them firmly in po-
sition and passed on conveyor tables
Il nd 81
ing wheels. Sand mixed with water
flows through hole in the center OF
the cast-iron grinding disc and works
its way out 10 the edge. Finer and
finer sand is used as the glass moves
on its way. each grinder taking a cut.
Eight grades of sand and six grades
of garnet are used in the grinding and
smoothing.
The plate is then washed. The
glass then goes 10 the polishing discs,
which are felt-coyered and which use
a mixture of iron rouge and water.
At the end of the line the glass is
turned over and proceeds back on an
other grinding and polishing line. from
which il leaves as completely finished
and polished plate glass that has not
been touched by human hand.
SAND THROUGH A HOSE.
There is no handling Of the sand
!. and neither is there any handling OF
the various grades Of polishing sand.
The silica sand and other materials
used in composing patches of glass
are handled in this fashion. From
vacuum machine a heavy rubber
hose goes into the car of material.
The material is drawn up through the
hose and falls into hopper. A con-
veyor of the elevator type carries 1t
aloft and dumps it upon a belt con-
veyor equipped so as 10 permit the
discharging Of the material into the
storage bin where il belongs.
The grinding sand has TO be grad
ed before used. This is done in els
tribution b., a process known tech
nically as letigation.
As the sand arrives at the plant
Il is received and stored in large
tanks beside the railroad tracks.
Then, as il is called into use, it is
washed by a stream Of water into a
well. From here a pump forces il
through pipe lines that carry it across
