New Glass to
Help Defense

Rochester y. Y, APR. Zap
Discovery OF a new kind OF glass
which is giving American military
aviation improved aerial photo
graphs was announced today by the
Eastman Kodak Co.
The glass is made without sill
ca. fact as strange as steel made
without iron. The result is glass
which bends light more than has
hitherto been possible.
Applied TO a camera lens, this
means that without reducing speed
the new eye" will photograph a
wider area and at the same time
give a sharper picture over the
entire area. N
Substituting for silica are three
elements. tungsten. tantalum, a
metal much used in electrical and
acid.resistant instruments: and
!anthanum, a rare metallic sub
stance.
The new glass was perfected a
year ago. and kept secret, but the
news slipped out today in the an.
nual stockholders report. Aerial
lenses for the government have
been manufactured for the past
year.
Seven years research are be-
hind the discovery. and the East
man Company gives the credit for
the idea TO DR.. G.. ". Morey of
