Pilkington Float Glass   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Pilkington contributed continuous grinding (one side at a time) and applied its substantial knowledge of furnace technology to develop the tank furnace from which molten glass could flow continuously to the rollers. The Pilkington Board decided to give the project the highest priority so that either success or failure would be determined as early as possible, and within three months a $70,000 pilot plant was built and made operational. Pilkington's years of use of rollers in its other flat glass facilities made this a logical first choice, but in its float application, the method created quality problems that had yet to be overcome. www.shkaminski.com /Classes/Readings/Pilkington.htm   (5376 words)

Karl Pilkington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pilkington's baldness is a regular comic theme in his dialogues with Gervais and Merchant.
