A Test For Curves
PITTSBURGH, PA.-Newly perfected methods for curving and bending glass, plus functional qualities imparted to automotive glass now make it technically possible to create the designers' bubble type dream car with an all glass enclosure, according to Dr. J. Hervey Sherts, product development director of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass company.
The girls in picture see-sawing on the curved automotive glass demonstrate the strength of the heat tempered glass. This has four to five times the impact resistance of plate glass of the same thickness. It retains crystal clarity to provide maximum vision.
