GLASS BLOWING by Carleton J. Lynde, Ph.D.
This fun little book was originally published
(circa 1920) by the A.C. Gilbert Co. of New Haven, CT for inclusion in
one of their various scientific experiment sets. Originally titled
EXPERIMENTAL GLASS BLOWING FOR BOYS, it presents a series of 80
"experiments" designed to teach the basic techniques of lamp work.
The book discusses types of glass, how to cut,
bend, and stretch glass tubes and rods, sealing a tube, blowing a
bubble, joining tubes, how to cut window glass and bottles, boring a
hole in glass, etc. The experiments include kids' stuff like squirt
bottles, pea shooters and whistles, as well as more practical fare such
as a drinking tube, siphon, nozzles, and a spirit level.
Our 1987 reprint edition should provide hours of
enjoyable reading and hands-on experience.
Paperbound, 62 pages, 5 by 7 inches, over 100
