New Field of Glass From Quartz Fused by Electric Furnace
A General Electric laboratory scientist in Lynn Massachusetts has developed a quartz glass fused at 4000 degrees that is clear and transmits light and actinic rays without distortion. It can direct ultraviolet rays into the mouth or throat, resist rapid temperature changes, and can be ground into various shapes. While not replacing ordinary glass, it offers strong use in medical optics and instruments, and may sterilise water via ultraviolet transmission. Youths Companion notes the discovery as a triumph of American ingenuity.
