Abstract: BRASS IS MELTED BY PLACING IT IN SOLID FORM UNDER A BATH OF MOLTEN GLASS IN A MELTING FURNACE CHAMBER. HEAT IS APPLIED TO THE GLASS AND THROUGH THE GLASS TO THE METAL. THE SURFACE OF THE GLASS IS RIPPLED, BY A STREAM OF GASES FROM A BURNER, TO INCREASE ITS SURFACE AREA AND THE TRANSFER OF HEAT THROUGH IT TO THE BRASS.
