This fascinating 16mm film from my collection was made with the help of Corning Glassworks and really gets into the science of making glass that will not shatter with rapid temperature changes. Some really cool footage of glass molding production lines for light bulbs, glass bottles, and CRT tubes. A lot of info packed in a relatively short film. As usual I transferred this film with my own Telecine and corrected the color to taste. Enjoy!

    Came for the Milgram experiment. Stayed for the glass.

    Hey Fran, Fantastic work. I am just noting that the title is confusing, I think it would be more clear as : The Problem Of Thermal Shock (1970)

    I loved this film. Now I don't feel so strange for drinking my coffee from a borosilicate flask 😂

    Really liked the narrator. Credits say Robin King, but can't find anything on him. He almost sounds like Leonard Nimoy at times. Thanks Fran!

    I love all these old educational films. Yes, there is no more cyan to be had. Even if there were, I think all the highlights would start turning cyan.

    Thank you for colour correcting and posting this video. I have more appreciation for the technology behind my Corelle casserole dishes!

    So that's why my mother's heat resisting ovenware was white. Nice colour correction of a very faded film.

    My EE background caused me to assume this video was going to be about electrical shock, it didn't occur to think about other types of shock.

    thank you I miss the old tech and the know how especially analog.

    Pyrex owes me a floor that they ruined when they decided to make cookware out of soda lime instead of borosilicate which their name is forever associated with. If it says Pyrex don't trust it to be shock stable! They lie

    Great job on the colour correction. Tempts me to get my several hundred reels out of storage!
