CORNING -- For Liz Edger in the 1970s, opportunity was the chance to be called a boy at Corning Glass Works -- and not mind.
After working for a few years as an inspector at the company known during that era for its kitchenware and laboratory items, Edger was moved into the blowing room.
And, of course, Corning was a family company, run by several generations of the Houghton family, which moved the operation to the Crystal City in 1868.

 FindLaw for Legal Professionals - Case Law, Federal and State Resources, Forms, and Code
Corning did not cure its violation in June 1966 by permitting women to work as night shift inspectors, since the violation could not have been cured except by equalizing the base wages of female day inspectors with the higher rates paid the night inspectors Pp.
As Corning's own representative testified at the hearings, the element of working conditions encompasses two subfactors: "surroundings" and "hazards." 20 "Surroundings" measures the elements, such as toxic chemicals or fumes, regularly encountered by a worker, their intensity, and their frequency.
If, as the Secretary proved, the work performed by women on the day shift was equal to that performed by men on the night shift, the company became obligated to pay the women the same base wage as their male counterparts on the effective date of the Act.

Thus, for all practical purposes, the Corning case meant that RPM was no longer viable for national distribu- tors.
Specifically, there was no evidence of col- lusion among Corning's dealers or competitors, and stock market movements for Corning and some of its competitors do not support the anticompetitive theories, the report states.

The view on the map is from what is now the north side of Corning (in 1882 the north side of the Chemung River was an unincorporated community called Knoxville - it was annexed into Corning in 1890) looking to the south at what was then the whole village of Corning.
The factories (Corning Glass Works) were not there in 1867 as the Glass Works moved to Corning from Brooklyn in 1868.
Perhaps a bit of irony there - if the timing of the Glass Works move from Brooklyn had been a little earlier, Thomas Gilmartin might well have stayed in Corning rather than going to Brooklyn via the Pennsylvania coalfields.

 The History of Pyrex Glassware
Back in the early 1900's, Corning Glass Works was working on a request from the railroads to produce lantern glass that would not break when the hot glass was struck by rain or snow.
In response to this request, Corning developed globes made from low-expansion glass that could withstand the abuses of weathering and handling which readily broke the flint glass globes.
Knowing the strength of the glass her husband worked with on a daily basis, she implored him to bring home a substitute from the Corning Glass Works plant.

This new Corning Inc. makes different products in different environments, hires different workers and operates in a different business climate than the Corning Glass Works of much of the 20th century.
Communities such as Corning in the industrial Northeast faced a similar job drain throughout much of the 20th century as companies moved south to take advantage of non-union labor forces and lower wages, said George DeMartino, associate professor of international studies at the University of Denver.
Corning Inc.'s first forays into the international arena came in the early 20th century through exports and agreements to license its technology.

 BOROSIL Glass Works Limited
BOROSIL GLASS WORKS LIMITED was established in December 1962 in collaboration with Corning Glass Works of U.S.A. to manufacture borosilicate low expansion glass - a type of glass so special that it requires melting temperatures as high as 1625°C and a technology so sophisticated that even today very few countries in the world possess it.
In December 1988, Corning divested its share holdings to the Kheruka group who have been a leading manufacturer of sheet glass in India since 1961.
All manufacturing processes of the glass manufacturing such as melting, forming, shaping etc. are carried out in-house, enabling built-in quality checks at every stage.

In 1937, the company was bought by Corning Glass Works of New York, who continued to operate it as the “Macbeth-Evans Division of Corning Glass Works in Charleroi, Pennsylvania.” At this point, all the early dinnerware lines were discontinued with one exception: Petalware production continued.
Corning completed the sets by adding their own clear glass tumblers decorated in the same colored bands and marketed them as “Corning Monax Pastels” and “Corning Ivrene Pastels”.
The Macbeth-Evans division of Corning had achieved what they set out to do: They created a tableware with the look of china and the strength and low cost of glass.

 Mesothelioma Legal Information: Owens-Corning Fiberglas' Liability in Asbestos Cases
In 1940-41, the Asbestos Worker locals began to demand an hourly premium to work with fiberglass, based on asserted "health hazards." In fact, fiberglass is God-awful stuff to work with, because the fibers, released during sawing, sanding and other handling, get into the skin and cause an itch for which there is no known relief.
Nothing really worked, but they were working within extremely narrow, and totally self-imposed, constraints — whatever they came up with had to work with the pan molding and autoclaving process that was already in place.
In 1972, a combination of alkali resistant glass fiber and cellulose (wood fiber) was finally made to work, and was put on the market at the end of that year as "AF" (for "asbestos-free") Kaylo.
