Synopsis

Excerpt from Glass Manufacture

The present volume on Glass Manufacture has been written chie?y for the benefit of those who are users of glass, and therefore, makes no claim to be an adequate guide or help to those engaged in glass manufacture itself. For this reason the account of manufacturing processes has been kept as non-technical as possible; no detailed drawings of plant or appliances have been given, and only a few illustrative diagrams have been introduced for the purpose of avoid ing lengthy verbal descriptions. In describing each process the object in view has been to give an insight into the rationale of each step, so far as it is known or understood, and thus to indicate the possibilities and limitations of the process and of its resulting pro ducts rather than to provide a detailed guide to the technique of the various Operations. The practical aim of the book has further been safeguarded by the fact that the processes described in these pages are, with the exception of those described as obsolete to the author''s definite knowledge, in commercial use at the present time. For this reason many apparently ingenious and beautiful processes described in earlier books on glass have not been mentioned here, since the author could find no trace of their employment beyond the records of the various patents involved. On the other hand the reader must be warned to bear in mind that the peculiar conditions of the glass manufacturing industry have led to the practice on the part of manufacturers of keeping their processes as secret as possible, so that the task of the author who would give an accurate account of the best modern processes used in any given department of the industry is beset with great difficulties. The author has endeavoured.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Walter Rosenhain was one of the most outstanding of metallurgical researchers of his time. However, before resuming his metallurgical career on leaving Cambridge University in 1900, he worked for several years as chief scientific adviser to Chance Brothers of Smethwick. During that time he became fascinated by glass and retained that interest throughout his career. He wrote the first edition of this book in 1907 hoping that it might arouse interest in applying science in the glass industry. This second edition, published in 1918, reflected changes made as a result of that war but still showed little application of science.
