At the rate of 400 a minute, approximately 2,000,000 a week, the brightly colored globes have been pouring from the production line. Months of intensive work by. Engineers made possible the ingenious machines which turn a pound of glass into thirty average-size. A ribbon of molten glass enters one end of the production line and a steady stream of bulbs which have been shaped, silvered inside. And tinted outside, comes out at the other end. One hundred and eighty different sizes, styles, and colors are produced at the Wellsboro plant. Formerly, most of our glass Christmas-tree decorations came from central.
