GLASS SAVES STEEL I:lritain is using glass to sat•,• noel. It is translucent, toughened glass which. can now lake the place of steel as the top of hot ,:abinets do cafes and restaurants, safely stand- ing up to temperatures of 120 to 150 degrees. In these days when canteens and cafeterias are provided in all factories over a certain size the quantity of steel which can be saved is therefore considerable. By admitting light to the cabinet, toughened glass lessens the work of the canteen staff in cleaning it and in serving the food. The glass takes a slightly longer time than steel to warm up but it holds the heat bet- ter, thus substantially reducing heating costs particularly in cant- eens with lengths of hot cabinets or a battery of steamers. And of course the glass costs less than the valuable steel which it re- leases for the war.
