Once the furnace lid is sealed, the temperature will slowly ratchet up over a period of several days, at times rising no more than 2 degrees C in an hour. At 750 degrees C (1382 degrees F), when the glass is a smooth, shiny lake, the furnace starts to whirl like a merry-go-round -- an innovation that automatically spins the glass into the parabolic shape traditionally achieved by grinding. At about 1150 degrees C, the liquid glass oozes into the mold, filling the cells of the honeycomb...
