Bottles on the March
ROM the earth comes also glass for bottles. There is one large glass manufacturing company fulfilling New Zealand’s requirements. It has two fure naces at present operating, one devoted to amber bottles, the other to clear glass. These bottles are produced mechanically by ingenious machinery. The
quia giass Hows into mouids and then passes through long cooling chambers, from which the bottles emerge in rows, like soldiers on the march — uniformly, incessantly 24 hours a day, every day of the week. This factory produces in the course of a year more than 50 million bottles and jars, Since 1936, output has increased by 30 millions. Extensions in progress at the
present time involve an outlay of approximately £12,000, and the additional plant will be in production by about March of next year, and will increase production by about 100 per cent, This new plant will also produce various types of pressed glassware such as tumblers, salad bowls and small glass dishes.-("Secondary Industries in New Zealand."
