The Organisation of a Research Centre Devoted to Glass Technology

JSGT 1951 V35 T506-T523

The author discusses the requirements in design and operation of an industrial research organisation, and particularly of a glass research centre dealing with problems of very wide range. Special thought is given to methods to economise time and space, and by which specialist knowledge can most effectively be brought to bear on the problems on which the laboratories may be engaged. Finally, the author shows how these principles have been applied in the design of the new Centre des Recherches des Glaceries de la Compagnie de Saint-Gobain.
