But these bubbles don't burst after a few minutes in the air they last a considerable time and do a job of outmost importance to our seaman, in fact to every ship on the high seas.

A female glass blower is seen here holding a 16 inch glass bulb which weighs ten and a half pounds, 30th December 1943 (b/w photo)
