	Pilkington Float Glass (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		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.
		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.
		The standard width of plate glass made by Pilkington Brothers was 2.5 meters, and the average speed of producing 6.0 mm glass was 4 meters/minute.

	TIME.com: Pilkington Shines Again -- Dec. 15, 1967 -- Page 1
		In the modern world of sheet glass, Britain's Pilkington Brothers, Ltd., maintains a comparable superiority in a more humane way: the company consistently outdoes rivals in research and development.
		Pilkington, sole survivor of the 24 glassworks that thrived in Britain in the 19th century and then died because of competition, made its first major contribution to the industry in 1935 by developing a grinder that smoothed both sides of the glass simultaneously — until recently the common method for finishing flat glass.
		Last week Pilkington informed customers of another advance: it can now make tinted glass by the same float process with considerable savings in time and capital expense.

		The composites were developed in the late 1960’s after pioneering studies at the Building Research Establishment in England, by Dr A.J.Majumdar, who successfully produced a glass fiber containing zirconium oxide which was capable of resisting the alkali attack when mixed with normal hydrating Portland cement.
		The BRE work was patented by the British National Research Development Council which approached Pilkington Brothers, a major glass producer, to assist in the development, production and commercialization of alkali resistant glass fibers.
		By 1971 the fibers were being produced in commercially viable quantities and a licensing system was in place, ensuring development of the technology with controlled quality and design standards.
