Abstract
A relatively thin layer of molten photochromic glass is formed on the surface of a relatively thick molten core glass of greater viscosity than that of the photochromic glass as such core glass is drawn into sheet form. The core glass is selected for its viscosity-temperature characteristics such that the core glass will support the photochromic surface glass during the temperature cycle required for developing the photochromic properties of such surface glass.
