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

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
