From the Foreword: "Although there are many books on the subject of glass, none of these deals specifically with flat glass, so far as the writer has been able to learn. The story is, nevertheless, one of unusual interest and the advent and perfection of the Colburn machine for producing flat-drawn sheet glass is a particularly interesting phase of that story. This book therefore aims to give a comprehensive account of flat glass. It also describes the development of the Colburn process, which has revolutionized the industry.". Book.
