After spending many years with the tens of thousands of pages of archival material that made this website possible, we have started the process again. This time, however, our focus is on the matters of interest that never became part of the database project.
The "Archival Goodies" section will be the repository for all things of interest that we discover now and in the future. As you might agree, we hope this section is never completed.
Our first topic (sub-tab) is called "Changing the Pot." This is a photographic sequence showing the process of changing out a damaged or worn-out clay pot in which the glass-making ingredients are melted to make your favorite vase or bowl. Also featured are copies of the original blueprints, from 1904, showing the entire furnace and clay pot designs. These are works of art by themselves. They will also appear in the Download Center so they can be viewed in a much larger format for those engineers among us.
Make it a point to periodically go into the "Archival Goodies" section to see what has been added.
