Now if you had taken your saw mountain climbing, say on a mountain near the equator,
with a full tank of 89 octane, with Stihl 50:1 mix, and used motor oil{10w50 synthetic
of course} in the bar oil tank,temperature at 0 degrees Celcius, would it be heavier
or lighter than one on the North pole at the same temp?
...glass flows, like very very slow molasses... over time. Thus panes are thicker at bottom.Fish said:Why are the windows of middle age cathedrals thicker at the bottom of the glass?
How obsolete... the small glass panes on my 101 year old house are also thicker at bottom of pane when I went to re-glaze them few years ago. If its a manufacturing defect or process... then why are all the panes thick on bottom? Wouldn't you think half of them would be thick on top then? Did the guy installing them check thickness, and make sure all the thick ends went to the bottom? ..I think not. Hey... could be an urban legend, but I was always told glass is actually flows.ray benson said:It is claimed that cathedral glass is thicker at the bottom because
glass flows. Is it a property of glass to flow in the time frame of a
century or so?
Glass does flow, but the increased thickening at the bottom of old windowpanes is not caused by this effect; That - nonuniform thickness - is an artifact of the old, now obsolete manufacturing process.
It's just a myth.
