The glass measurer not only measures the thickness of thermal windows, but also the air space between the panes. The project uses the laws of physical optics, measuring the thickness by measuring the angle of the reflected light and infrared ray. "This device will ultimately benefit the consumer in that it will lower both window replacement costs and glass manufacturing operating costs," added Ron Busse, president of Erie Window Glass Co., 4999 Pittsburgh Ave. A mechanical prototype of the glass measurer has undergone extensive testing to make sure that it can provide accurate results under all conditions. Erie Window Glass, Inc., has applied for a U.S. patent on the insulated glAcs measurer. RESER y 'SU Junior, Division of Humanities and Social Science "MY ARMY ROTC SCHOLARSHIP IS PAYING OFF TWICE."
