 UR Service Department invites your 
 
 correspondence on all subjects per- 
 taining to glass. Where conditions arise 
 and you are not satisfied with your own 
 opinion, our experience may be of service 
 to you. 
 
 We have made careful study of day- 
 light illumination through glass and know 
 which are the best types of glass to use 
 under various conditions. 
 
 Some glass office partitions are simply 
 for privacy of conversation or to obstruct 
 vision economically; others are required 
 to also admit the best light possible. 
 
 There are certain places where conden- 
 sation of moisture must be taken care of; 
 other cases where it is desirable to have the 
 least heat possible under skylights. On 
 such subjects as these, our co-operation and 
 services will prove a valuable assistance.

 Homogeneous and solid. 
 
 Quality, strength and efficiency have 
 been so thoroughly demonstrated and es-

 INFORMATION ON 
 GLAZING 
 
 LASS being one of the last materials to go 
 (Ee into a building, it is very often the case 
 that plans are not in proper shape for the 
 glass contractor to take off sizes sufficiently in 
 advance to enable him to place his order far 
 enough ahead to give the manufacturers time to 
 cut the glass to sizes and make shipment in 
 time to enclose the building by the date desired. 
 It is therefore advisable to give this point con- 
 sideration in due time in order to facilitate 
 matters and assure glazing being done on time, 
 as in many cases the delay is not the fault of 
 the glass contractor or the manufacturer, as the 
 tremendous demand for Standard “Wire Glass” 
 and Figured Glass necessitates orders taking 
 their turn as they are received. 
 
 Extract from Publication of Rules and Requirements of 
 the National Board of Fire Underwriters, Edition of 1906 
 
 8. Size of Glass — 
 
 a. The unsupported surface of the glass allowed 
 shall be governed by the severity of exposure and be 
 determined in each case by the Underwriters having 
 jurisdiction, but in no case shall it be more than 48 
 inches in either dimension or exceed 720 square inches. 
 
 b. The glass to be of such dimensions, after selvage 
 is removed, that the bearing in the groove or rabbet 
 is not to exceed 14 inch less than the full depth called 
 for in rules 7 and 8. 
 
 c. The glass to be retained by the structural part 
 of the frame or sash independently of the material which 
 may be used for weatherproof purposes. Only non- 
 inflammable material to be used in setting glass in the sash. 
 
 In consideration of the above extract, it is well 
 to bear in mind the following sizes when planning 
 window, door or partition openings to be glazed 
 with Standard ‘‘Wire Glass,’ as these are the 
 most advantageous sizes where glass is not to 
 exceed 720 square inches: 
 
 15x48 18x40 20x36 24x30 
 
 The Mississippi Wire Glass Company is the 
 original manufacturer of Solid “Wire Glass,’’ and 
 its product is universally recognized as the 
 Standard ‘‘Wire Glass,” being the material upon 
 which the Underwriters’ Standard was based 
 in 1899. 
 
 By our process of manufacture, Standard 
 ‘‘Wire Glass’ is cast solid, and has an average 
 of less imperfections than any sub-standard 
 product on the market. 
 
 The quality of metal and process of manu- 
 facturing Standard “Wire Glass’ produce the 
 very highest quality with a tensile strength 
 second to none.

 PROPER TERMS FOR 
 SPECIFYING “WIRE GLASS” 
 AND FIGURED GLASS 
 
 ROM some specifications it is con- 
 
 fusing to the Glass Contractor to under- 
 stand exactly what type of glass is 
 desired. For example, specifications have 
 been known to call for plain “‘“Wire Glass” 
 with the intention of getting a specific style 
 of ‘‘Wire Glass.” In one case Polished 
 ‘Wire Glass’”’ was wanted, but the jobber, 
 thinking Rough “‘Wire Glass” to be about 
 the plainest and among the least expensive, 
 figured on this style and furnished it, so 
 that due to the improper term used in speci- 
 fication considerable trouble was caused. 
 Therefore, specification writers should bear 
 in mind the following in order to specify 
 correctly so the contractor can make no 
 mistake. 
 
 Mistakes are made in specifying Plain 
 ‘Wire Glass,”’ Plain Polished Plate “Wire 
 Glass,” Polished Plate ““Wire Glass,’ Plate 
 “Wire Glass,’ meaning Polished “Wire 
 Glass,’’ and specifying Florentine or Maze 
 “Wire Glass’ as a common term for any 
 figured ‘‘Wire Glass,’’ whereas the specifi- 
 cation calls for a specific style of figured 
 ‘Wire Glass.’’ If you will consult the pages 
 of this book you will find cuts of the various 
 types of “‘Wire Glass’ and Plain Figured 
 Glass with their correct names beneath, 
 which should be used to specify the partic- 
 ular style of glass desired for your work. 
 These are the names given the different 
 products by the manufacturer, and all glass 
 contractors are thoroughly familiar with 
 them. 
 
 It is also to your advantage to prefix 
 the name Mississippi, as you know what 
 Mississippi quality is.

 ISSISSIPPI Polished ‘‘Wire Glass’ has 
 4 the well earned reputation of being 
 far superior to any other product in quality 
 of metal, brightness of wire and general 
 appearance. On important jobs where archi- 
 tects are particular to secure the best of 
 quality, they specify Mississippi Polished

 HE prime object of figured glass is to 
 produce a pattern with depth and char- 
 acter, so that it will not appear pressed or 
 set, and at the same time it must essentially 
 be prismatic, so as to diffuse and distribute 
 the light. 
 
 The above pattern (Romanesque “‘Wire 
 Glass,’’ actual size) is laid out in the form 
 of a succession of prismatic circles, filled 
 in with smaller prisms, which diffuse the 
 light in all directions. 
 
 The brilliancy of this glass is better realized 
 by seeing actual sample in larger size. Same

 chusetts Institute of Technology under the 
 supervision of the late Edward Atkinson, 
 in his tests on diffusion of light. These 
 tests resulted in his finding that, by the use 
 of certain figured glass patterns in the upper 
 sash of a window instead of ordinary window 
 glass, the light in a room 30 feet or more 
 deep can be increased from 3 to 15 times its 
 present effect.

 HE Standard Ribbed ‘“‘Wire Glass’ for 
 use in factories, mills and in fact all 
 types of industrial buildings. 
 
 This glass is sometimes used in office and 
 loft buildings, and even structures of a more 
 artistic nature, but is hardly suitable for 
 many of them on account of its strictly 
 commercial design, which, though simple, 
 affords excellent light diffusion.

 APEX GLASS 
 
 A Polished Plate Prismatic Figured 
 Glass about 14 of an inch thick. 
 Made in sizes up to 50” wide and 
 100” long. 
 
 pee glass is without exception of the 
 highest quality possible; the design is 
 simple yet most effective. It is a rolled sheet 
 glass with figure on the upper or fire side, 
 and the back or table side, being highly 
 polished, produces a most brilliant pattern. 
 
 This glass is specified for use in partitions, 
 doors, transoms, etc., of the very highest 
 class of buildings where particular attention 
 is given to quality.

 “AURORA” 
 
 Sizes up to 48” wide and 130” long 
 for 14 of an inch thick and 60” wide 
 Bago " long for §% and 14 of aninch 
 thick. 
 
 HE pattern is scientifically cut at an 
 
 angle which gives the highest transmis- 
 sion of light and at the same time deflects 
 it to where it is wanted. The light source 
 is daylight, supplied through outside win- 
 dows. This must be picked up by the glass 
 and deflected to the ceiling and working 
 plane. The highest reflecting surface of a 
 room is the ceiling, located in a position to 
 deflect light downward so that it is desirable 
 to throw as much light to the ceiling as pos- 
 sible. Therefore, ‘“‘Aurora”’ is designed to 
 throw one-half of the light passing through 
 it to the ceiling and the other half to the 
 working plane. Side deflection which creates 
 shadows is reduced toa minimum. ‘Aurora’ 
 utilizes to advantage all the light which 
 reaches it.

 Sizes up to 42” wide and 110” long.

 OT unlike the well known pattern 
 “Florentine” in design, yet sufficiently 
 different to enable one to use it in doors, 
 tramsoms, partitions, etc., to make a slight 
 variance in appearance. This glass is very 
 brilliant and attractive and its diffusive 
 powers rank high. 
 It is suitable for many styles of archi- 
 tecture.

 FIGURE NO. 2 GLASS 
 
 Sizes up to 42” wide and 110” long. 
 Thicknesses 4 and 3% of an inch. 
 
 CONVENTIONAL design but well con- 
 
 sidered, obscuring the vision, yet brilliant 
 in surface and insuring liberal diffusion of 
 light. It is artistic enough to give character 
 to almost any style of architecture though 
 most appropriate where Colonial effects are 
 an important consideration.

 ONDOYANT GLASS 
 
 Sizes up to 30” wide and 100” long. 
 Thickness 1% of an inch. 
 
 UR oldest pattern and popular since 
 its introduction. Harmonizes with 
 nearly all decorations and affords liberal 
 distribution of light while it obscures vision. 
 Much used in transoms and ceiling lights. 
 Predominant in leaded work because of its 
 light-retaining rippled surface corrugations 
 which produce such pleasing light effects.

 dd Diab pattern, which is also made in 
 ‘Wire Glass,”’ we call special attention to. 
 The pattern cannot be thoroughly appreci- 
 ated unless seen in a large sample where the 
 circle is not so apparent. It has been pro- 
 nounced by experts as a most effective and 
 pleasing design of figured rolled glass. 
 Brilliancy and uniform cutting and setting 
 qualities are fully as marked as in the hereto- 
 fore unequalled ‘“‘Maze,’”’ and the glass har- 
 monizes with any style of architecture.

 ENTECOR Glass is a pleasing combina- 
 
 tion of Ribbed and Prism, making it a 
 most brilliant pattern with remarkable pris- 
 matic qualities, at the same time offering 
 a less expensive type of glass and a pattern 
 which is very easily cleaned. 
 
 This glass has been most successfully used 
 in factories and is considered quite equal to 
 prism glass for this style of building. Its 
 being so easily cleaned makes it a most 
 desirable pattern. 
 
 Used in skylights to conduct condensation.
