FocusOn: Deltech Glass Melt Furnace Automation
Corrosion-resistant ceramic linings, smooth and nearly instant door operation to facilitate molten glass pours, roof split plugs to permit glass fining, and 24/7 continuous operation reliability are the well-known features of every Deltech "RS" glass melt furnace. Now Deltech is pleased to introduce our newest feature: automation. The custom-designed 1700°C melter shown here is a controlled atmosphere furnace that uses robotics to lift and move the crucible to a separate chamber while maintaining the inert atmosphere environment, pour the glass into a heated mould, close the mould door, move the mould into the air for cooling, and then return to its original
position. For more information, visit www.deltechfurnaces.com.

| Survey Says!
In last week's CyberPoll, we asked if readers thought that Lowes' better-than-expected fourth quarter profits indicated that the worst has passed for the housing market. Most of the respondents (43.8%) do think the worst has passed, while 37.5% answered "no" and 18.7% of respondents are unsure. On the other hand, the majority of readers (81.3%) agree that this does not mean that a robust housing recovery is on its way. One reader commented: "A weak recovery in housing is likely this year and beyond. Returning to pre-recession levels of housing activity will take 4-5 years." Please
