Abstract
Current retail distribution methods compel the glass manufacturer to be prepared for rapid changes in style, designs, and colors. Small, flexible, producing units capable of accurate control and permitting rapid color changes or composition of glass aid in maintaining a close ratio between production and current sales. Day tanks are elastic in operation, but are not as economical or reliable as continuous tanks. A day tank was replaced with a tunnel tank (two feet wide by twenty feet long) of equivalent melting capacity per shift. Details of construction, drawing, gas consumption, filling, and operation are given. Advantages gained: dependable production with uniform color, melting conditions stabilized and assurred, producing capacity increased threefold without increasing fuel or labor costs, repair production loss cut, repair labor and material costs reduced.
