A basic article on these subjects extracted from the 1977 Thos. Webb & Edinburgh Crystal catalogue, has been added to Scotland's Glass. HERE (http://www.scotlandsglass.co.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=62&Itemid=35)
The entire catalogue is only available via the Glass Study.

Very interesting. I wonder whether the writer's mother tongue was English? It reads as if it has been translated from another language. :)

I doubt it, probably Publicitish.
First time I came across the term 'Cords'... Kristi what do you think of that one :D I vill be checking all my cut glass for bits of old rope now.

I've heard the term cords before. Cords are especially common in high-lead glass - or especially hard to avoid, anyway. I guess they call them cords because they can be long and thin, like a string. Interesting that they talk about it, and say perfection is rarely achieved - sounds like they have a problem with them. It doesn't seem to be much of an issue in ABP glass that I know of. I'll have to look into that.
I wonder how long they've been using acid polishing.
Nice little article! Thanks for posting it.
