Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fire Tests With Glass: Electro Glazed Casements by the British Luxfer Prism Syndicate, Limited, London; The Committee's Report
The squares of electro glazing in each of the lights commenced to crack immediately after the gas was lit and other squares continued cracking during the test.
In fifteen minutes the glazing in the two teak frames commenced bulging, one (no. 1) towards the fire, and the other (no. 3) from the fire; this bulging increased during the test from i in. M.) to gin. M.) The teak frame (no. I) which was set nearly ?ush on the fire side was burning freely; the burning subsequently decreased but was renewed at 21 minutes. In 40 minutes the teak transom of this frame was aglow on the side away from the fire.
The glass was not displaced from its electro glazing in any of the lights.
On the application of water at 45 minutes, the whole of the glazing was covered with small hair cracks, presenting a frosted appearance, but was not displaced.
There were indications that fire had passed between the glazing and the wood frames.
