A comparative study was made of the mechanical properties of several different kinds of rolled and polished glass. Young's modulus of elasticity and the transverse modulus of rupture were measured by the usual cross‐bending method. Impact modulus of rupture was measured by means of a special form of pendulum which gave results that were free from the effects of cumulative chipping. Wind resistance was measured with a special form of hydraulic loading machine designed to give uniform pressure of the test plate against the supporting frame. The apparatus is described in detail and the results of the measurements are given in a series of graphs and tables.
