Abstract
IN the columns of Nature recently and in other places there have appeared various discussions of the relation between the strength of glass and the duration of the stressing, frequently centring on the experimental results of Mr. T. C. Baker reported in my paper on the "Mechanical Properties of Glass"1 in the form of a graph. There, breaking stress is plotted as ordinate against the logarithm of the time as abscissa. This is the way the scanty earlier results were plotted by other investigators.
