Rolled plate glass

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rolled plate is a type of industrially produced glass. It was invented and patented by James Hartley circa 1847.[1][2] Rolled plate is used architecturally; for example, in the mid-19th century uses for rolled plate glass included roofing railway stations and greenhouses.[1]
