JSGT 1933 V17 T068-T092

 The general scientific principles underlying the design, construction and operation of glass-forming moulds are discussed, special attention being given to the subjects of mould temperatures and glass temperatures in their bearing on the wall thickness of the mould and on the arrangements made for cooling. The special requirements of paste moulds, hot moulds, and pressed glass moulds are referred to. The chief requirements of the materials for the construction of hot moulds are set out.

Pages T085-T092 are a general discussion of both mould making papers.
