Title: optic fiber production
Post by: krsilber on January 03, 2017, 02:26:59 AM
I wasn't really sure where to post this, but I thought I'd share this with those who are interested in the technical side of glass manufacture.  I found it interesting, anyway.  It's a page from a How Stuff Works article describing how glass optic fibers are produced.

The rest of the article is pretty interesting, too.  Glass just blows my mind sometimes.
