[note] Charles E. Hancock, as a young glassblower, saw the beginning of the Cylinder Process, himself blowing cylinders with the machine as great as [24 written and crossed out] 40 feet in length. These cylinders were cooled, the ends cut off and the cylinder slit down the side, re-heated and then flattened [insert mark] for window glass. With Thomas A. Edison, he agreed there was no reason why the glass could not be drawn flat from the molten pot. [flat from the molten pot. is underlined] The above photo shows the Cylinder Process at [? typed and crossed out, is illegible] its highest development. The [insert mark] 40-foot cylinders were drawn from the melting tank. The “cradles” in the foreground would rise to receive the cylinders, they would then be lowered and [insert mark] the cylinders processed into window glass.
