Cylinder blown sheet glass.

Broad sheet blown plate polished plate and cylinder blown sheet. A similar process to broad sheet except that larger cylinders are produced by swinging the cylinder in a trench. German cylinder blown sheet type nr. This process produced glass containing various imperfections both within the glass and on its surface but was of better quality then previous methods and produced larger panes of glass.

The glass is then allowed to cool before the cylinder is cut. This allows the cylinder on reheating to flap open. The turn of the century heralded great innovations in glass making. It is created with a similar process to broad sheet but larger cylinders are produced by swinging the cylinder in a trench.

This is then rolled to give a flat piece of glass which is cooled slowly to toughen it and remove internal stresses. The glass will be returned to the furnace and heated to about 1250 f. It is created with a similar process to broad sheet but larger cylinders are produced by swinging the cylinder in a trench. The glass is then re heated and flattened.

These methods of manufacture lasted at least until the end of the 19th century. Crown glass is one of many types of hand blown glass. The glass is allowed to cool before cutting the cylinder which is then re heated and flattened. The newly formed sheet will be removed from the oven and returned to the annealing furnace for gradual cooling.

It is created with a similar process to broad sheet but larger cylinders are produced by swinging the cylinder in a trench. The glass is allowed to cool before cutting the cylinder which is then reheated and larger panes and a much improved surface quality result. The glass is then allowed to cool before the cylinder is cut. Cylinder glass is handmade using traditional mouth blowing methods.

At this temperature the glass will again be in a ductile state and can be flattened into a sheet. The glass cylinder is now ready for flat glass alignment. The glass is then re heated and flattened. Genuine handblown cylinder glass e g.

A similar process to broad sheet except that larger cylinders are produced by swinging the cylinder in a trench. Cylinder blown sheet is a type of hand blown window glass. The early 20th century marks the move away from hand blown to machine manufactured glass such as rolled plate. The glass is then re heated and flattened.

It is glazed where existing original glass is broken or where replacement windows are required to match existing sashes in a period building. The glass is then allowed to cool before the cylinder is cut. First a cylinder of glass is blown and then scored. This is used for matching existing original cylinder blown or crown glass.
