About this book
Glass-working opens this 1898 handbook of the practical skills a physics laboratory needs, written by Richard Threlfall while he held the chair of physics at the University of Sydney. It covers choosing and testing glass tube, using the blow-pipe, welding, bending, boring, grinding and fitting air-tight joints.
Later chapters turn to grinding and polishing lenses, mirrors and flat surfaces, then to cutting thin sections, drawing fine quartz threads, soldering and brazing, and the insulators, conductors and alloys used in electrical apparatus. An appendix covers preparing vacuum tubes for Roentgen's radiation.
