A bstract Glass fibers have been produced in large quantities running from 0.0007‐ to 0.00005‐inch fiber diameter. The strength of individual fibers and the strength of yarns produced from these fibers have received preliminary investigation. Some of the strengths obtained are quite remarkable, running into the order of 11/2 million pounds per square inch. Even these strengths fall short of the theoretical possibilities. Some possible reasons and explanations are discussed.
