Summary

Description
English: This is one of the first steps in the making of window glass during the 1880s. A gatherer retrieves a gob of molten glass out of a furnace, and hands the gob (on a blowpipe) to a glass blower. The glassblower (shown here) creates a hollow cylinder by blowing into the blowpipe. He then lengthens the cylinder by swinging it (also shown here).
