Following on from the launch of Chance Reflections, Volume 1, I am pleased to announce that the second volume is now available to download.
Volume 2 can be downloaded directly from www.chancebrothers.uk and the PDF can be seen listed on the homepage. I hope you enjoy it.
There are eleven volumes in all, and these will be uploaded as and when available.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank:
Dr Malcolm Dick, OBE for copy-editing the book.
Henry Chance for his forensic proof-reading.
Giles Chance for suggestions and amendments.
About …
Having emerged from the first turbulent fourteen years, the prospects of Chance Brothers grew from strength to strength.
Experiments were carried out on ornamental glass and this proved to be inspirational, with many varied designs that received praise.
The seed of an idea to develop optical glass, already inhibited by Excise Duty, suddenly blossomed once the Duty was repealed. Success was swiftly rewarded with sales on the home and European markets.
This led to Chance Brothers' most important and enduring product: that of lighthouse engineering to compete with the French dominance in this market.
During 1850 the Company was awarded a contract to glaze the largest exhibition hall in the world: the Crystal Palace.
