Talk:Chance Brothers

message: ...they also were the only firm at the time able to make the white glass for the four faces of Big Ben.  It isn't called "Big Ben" - that refers to the large bell. The proper name is the Clock Tower, Palace of Westminster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_Tower,_Palace_of_Westminster). Chance were the only UK firm able to replace the glass - Chance actually replaced the German glass after the war that had, ironically, been damaged by the Luftwaffe! Due to the differences in colour, it was decided to replace all the glass. This glass is referred to as opal-flashed - a thin layer of opal glass that is 'flashed' onto the outer faces of clear glass.

message: A few inaccuracies and inconsistencies have been revised. Frank Chance was a shareholder, but not a director of the Company and he certainly did not manage the works between the wars. Malvern was part of Chance Brothers, then Pilkingtons, but was then bought out by management in c.1992 and then the name changed to Chance Glass Ltd.
I'm not sure about the mention of "German glass" to glaze the Westminster Tower clock faces. This could either be, a) glass from Germany, b) glass made by the German workers at Chance, c) a glass simply referred to as German glass because of a particular colour.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by GlassyEye (talk • contribs) 13:30, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
