About this book
A Handbook of Laboratory Glass-Blowing is by Bernard D. Bolas, with numerous diagrams in the text by Naomi Bolas. The contents list General Principles to be observed in Glass Working, Choice of Apparatus, and Easy Examples of Laboratory Glass-Blowing such as Cutting and Sealing Tubes. The text describes a blowpipe in which jets of varying size may be brought into position without stopping the work for more than a fraction of a second.
Ordinary soda-glass tubing is said to melt easily in the blowpipe flame, to become highly fluid rather suddenly, and not to blacken in the reducing flame. On cooling, the text says that for most purposes, with thin, blowpipe-made or lamp-blown glass apparatus, it is sufficient to cool slowly by rotating the finished article over a smoky flame and setting it aside in a place free from draughts.
