Abstract

A method is described of forming a circular convergent lens in a plate of transparent mineral material, which involves grinding the lens with a grinding member having a lesser diameter than the lens and imparting an oscillatory motion to the plate relatively to the grinding wheel. This method also enables self-dressing of the grinding member.
