History of the Glass Industry Committee

THE IEEE Glass Industry Committee history parallels the glass industry developments of the past quarter century. During this period, process improvements, increased computer use, and sophisticated control developments, documented by IEEE papers, led the industry to its present position. The stimulation of glass industry electrical engineers by IEEE participation, encouraged by individual corporate management, resulted in the improvement of the industry capabilities far exceeding the time and effort expended for such activities. This paper records some of the events of this past quarter century in the IEEE Glass Industry Committee history.
