Talk:Lehr (glassmaking)

Latest comment: 1 month ago by TwoScars in topic How the lehr got its name

Can someone clarify "only remaining lehr'? I don't think that is true with a broad definition of lehr, there must be a more specific definition that applies here.

Hi- I also find this inaccurate, so I am going to remove it. As defined both here and at my workplace, I work on a lehr for several hours each day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.192.37 (talk) 21:37, 18 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

How the lehr got its name

edit

I spent a summer working at a glass factory. I have always been told that the term "lehr" comes from the German word for a teacher. The German word for instructor/professor/teacher is "lehrer". When the glass is placed on the conveyer, it is "taught" by the lehr to not easily break. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a good source to cite this.
