The life of a float line: chapter two - the float bath and annealing

This is the second chapter in our exclusive video series on float glass production.
This time, Mike Woodhead, line manager at Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, talks us through the process at the heart of float glass production, the bath of molten tin on which the glass spreads out to form a flat sheet, followed by the carefully controlled cooling process.
