Building inspectors visit lab during glass block testing

Building Inspectors

Visit Civil Testing Lab

Building inspectors from more than a score of cities from Boston to St. Louis visited the University recently, inspecting work in the ma­terials testing laboratory in the Civ­il Engineering Building. Glass bricks manufactured by the Owens-Illinois Glass Co., were tested and withstood a wind pres­sure of 162 miles per hour. These bricks as well as many other build­ing products have undergone tests in the laboratories within the last two years. This particular glass brick is now finding its way into general construction.
