The Department of Glass Technology: its Foundation and Work since 1915

JSGT 1937 V21 T005-T043

 A review of published work by the Department of Glass Technology, University of Sheffield. The Department of Glass Technology was the first institution of its kind to be established solely for the promotion of advanced teaching and research in glass technology. While it is an integral part of a University, it has aimed at making itself also an essential part of the industry it was founded to serve. In the scope of its activities and the intimacy of its contacts with an industry, it is probably unique. There are reasons for this; and, by comparison with some countries having an important glass-making industry Germany or the USA, for example, circumstances in our own are favourable to a concentration of scientific and technological effort. 352 references.
