The processes involving the working of viscous hot glass-the only
topic of this book-are basically different from those customary in
other technologies. The strong temperature dependence of the
working properties of glass, particulary of its viscosity, require
the exact .co- ordination of cooling and forming. For this reason
the temperature conditions in the forming parts of the machine and
the timing of the process are of prime importance. This
particularity of glass as a material as well as the diversity in
type and quality of glass products explain the specificity of glass
machines in the field of machine design. The literature on glass
machines is sparse and scattered. Because of the increasing
specialization in the field of glass machines, it is not only the
beginner but also the expert who finds it hard to obtain insight
into the entire field of glass forming. In response to this
situation Committe IV (" Glasmaschinentechnik ") of the "Deutsche
Glastech- nische Gesellschaft", the German glass society, decided
to suggest and sponsor the publication of a book on glass machines
aiming at the comprehensive presentation of the state of the art as
well as the histor- ical development. Because of the great
specialization in the field the publishers had to secure the help
of several colleagues whom they wish to thank for a decisive role
in this book. Thanks are also due to the glass and machine
factories providing material.
