Glass-spin′ning.

Brunfaut of Vienna works a process in which he makes curled or frizzled yarn of glass. The composition is a secret. One workman with a wheel having a diameter of 5 Austrian yards will spin 3,500 yards per minute. It is used for many descriptions of fabric and for many purposes, cushions, carpets, table linen, shawls, neckties, etc.

Bonnet's European patents for cloth of glass are dated in 1837. The warp is of silk, the weft of glass spun by steam-engine power, about sixty threads to the inch.

1877.
