Conclusion
“There is no doubt that the improvement in refractories has contributed most to the steady increase in furnace output. The refractory manufacturers have done a wonderful job and have nearly kept pace with the glassmakers’ requests for better materials.” This statement by Lionel Norton was made in his presidential speech to the Society of Glass Technology in 1969 and is still valid today. Much excellent work continues to provide the glass industry with the refractories that it requires, and it can look to the future with confidence.
