“A glass pot is a wonderful piece of engineering:” It is an expensive article and deserves the most careful treatment. The precautions indicated are; careful packing for shipment in ruin proof box cars, well padded pot carriages equipped with the spring suspensions, storage in a warm, dry room, careful preparation of furnace bench to insure an even distribution of load on the bottom of the pot and to make certain that the pot is level , or tilted slightly forward. Unnecessary jolts often result in damage which only becomes apparent when the pot is heated up.
