LNER Northlight glazing

Post by ColHut »

G’day,

Does anybody know what transparent or translucent material was used in late 19C early 20C Northlight and similar engine shed roof glazing. It could have been glass, or what appears to be sometimes a corrugated material?

Regards

Could it be wired corrugated glass?

Some sort of rolled or extruded glass predating float glass perhaps?

Sawdust.

Don't know I saw it once on a TV programme obviously quite strong may have been done the same way as windscreens. Heated up over a former.

Perhaps, I am supposing they used the same material in Goods Shed glazed roof panels.
