Abstract
IN the old days the manufacturers of glass ranked among the most secretive in the whole range of industry. Recipes and processes were jealously guarded, and there was no attempt at interchange of views with regard to the common difficulties experienced more or less by all in the course of the manufacture. The exigencies of the War period brought about a salutary change in the outlook. The value of scientific investigation found recognition, and the inception of the Department of Glass Technology at the University of Sheffield resulted in the establishment of a permanent centre for research work on glass, whilst the formation of the Society of Glass Technology provided for the publication of valuable reports on original work.
