Summary This new factory, constructed in 1918‐19, is worthy of note by reason of its expensive (7 to 8 hundred thousand dollars per unit) and permanent construction, by reason of the high quality of glass produced in continuous tanks, and by reason of its efficient design and arrangement and the extensive employment of mechanical devices throughout. This paper gives a detailed description of the factory under the following headings: Historical; Buildings, Warehouse, and Factory; The Hardford ‐ Fairmont Feeder with description operation; The Batch System and the Batch; The Stacks; The Laboratory; and Selecting and Packing the Ware.
