[QUOTE="ascot, post: 324173, member: 96"]Can anyone tell me what these glass standards were used for? (Frankly, I'm not even sure what they are, exactly.) So we have a little black box with 6 pieces of glass, 5 square, 1 round. (white spots on the glass are from ceiling lights...sorry.) The thickness varies - the bright red/orange (lower left) is the thinnest and they graduate up in thickness. Each one has a tiny number on it, the red/orange one being NSB 2101 29, and the 4 numbers in the center graduate upward (2101, 2102, etc). There's also a card with information about the thickness in MM, then Cap X, Cap Y, Cap Z, and then X and Y. The round glass may or may not be part of the original set. It isn't numbered but does have an old Corning label that says Diaymium 5.06MM No. 512. If anyone can tell me what standards these would have been used for or any other info, I'd appreciate it! Thanks so much!
