The Development of Glass Melting Furnaces in Recent Times.

JSGT 1927 V11 T303-T331

The object of the present paper is briefly to survey the more important developments which have been made in the efficiency of glass-melting furnaces in Great Britain, particularly since 1914, in order that we may more clearly realise the nature of the problems which face us in any further attempts at progress. Both pot furnaces and tank furnaces have undergone development, and both will receive comment.
