"coloured glasses"



My grandfather was a research chemist for Libbey Owens Ford Glass Co.- his specialty was developing different types of glass- mirrored, one way, bullet-proof. This is a text book from the LOF library, and a cut glass piece they gave him when he retired. It's quite fascinating to me- all the chemistry of the color of glasses.
(I always felt an affinity for him, so I think its interesting I’ve ended up working in his material.)
