PICTURES ON GLASS.

- ?

The coating of the glass takes place immediately afterward in a dark room; the coated sheets are then subjected to a heat of 50° or 60° C. (120° to 140° Fahr.) in a small hot chamber, where they are laid one after the other on a wire grating situated 35 centimeters above the bottom. Care should be taken not to introduce the glass under treatment into the hot chamber before the required degree of heat has been obtained. A few seconds are sufficient to dry each sheet, and the wire grating should be large enough to allow of the dried glass being laid in rows, on one side where the heat is less intense. For the reproduction of the pictures or images a photographic copying frame of the size of the original is used. A stained glass window being for greater security generally divided into different panels, the size of one panel is seldom more than one square meter.
