Glass Permeable to Ultra-Violet Radiation.
The use of such glass for windows in schools, work buildings and homes cannot
but be regarded as highly desirable from a health point of view. This glass transmits
the biological and therapeutic wave-lengths of the ultra-violet rays and its
general use, particularly in towns, would confer a benefit on school children at
their lessons, workers in offices and shops, sick people confined to bed and residents
generally in the crowded houses of our mean streets.
Rag Flock Acts, 1911 and 1928.
There are no premises in the Borough on which rag flock, as defined by the
above Acts, is manufactured, used or sold.
