GLASS MAKING QUERY

[Annie Murray]

Hello everyone - does anyone please know what you call the long wooden paddle like thing that glass was put on to be carried about to and from furnaces etc? A bit like the thing they use to put pizzas in an oven. I'm writing about Chance Bros and wonder if they had a particular name?
Thank you
Annie

A question for anyone who knows about glass making please! Does anyone know the name of the thing you carry glass around on, say to the Lehr/annealing over - a rod with a flat ?wooden part on the end - a bit like you would use for a pizza oven? I would be very happy to learn this if anyone knows. Many thanks, Annie
