Rolling Glass




The ceramic fire clay pots are also  known as crucibles each crucible can  hold approximately  pounds of  chemicals and again there are twelve  crucibles in that furnace  each sheet is carefully labeled and  brought to the mixing table  the workers will deposit that glass onto  the mixing table and back away  table man carefully mixes this blast  with a few pronghorn  once the glasses blend it's in his  specifications he picks that molten  mixture up and face it between two  rollers sort of like two rolling pins  doubles together that will mash that  glass flat to of an inch thick.

The ladles that these employees use are  very heavy this is no job for a lad  empty they weigh  to  pounds full  they can double that in way  table men will ring his Bell  approximately every minute and a half to  let the labelers know it is time for  that next sheet of glass.

The heavy steel mixing chamber is cooled  by water inside as the first step to  that cooling process if you rollers are  hollow and they are air-cooled inside  once the glass is rolled out into that  one HM / inch thickness it changes its  traveling direction where it enters
