Abstract
GLASS is unique in that it differs from ordinary crystalline solids on one hand and from liquids on the other. Some consider that in a descriptive sense it should be associated with supercooled liquids; others think that the lack of crystalline form in glasses is only apparent. The X-rays appear to disclose orderliness of atomic arrangement on a scale far too fine for the microscope ever to reveal. “
