Box (unit)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The box was a piece measure for window glass in glassworks and a trade measure .

Dimensions

  • 1 box = 20 bundles = 120 bars

Ordinary glass was sold in shock, but the panel sizes determined the number of shock. A board measuring 41 inches long and 26 inches wide was already a shock. The number of panels going to shock were labeled ones, sixes, fourteen, etc. If the glass was green, the box also had 120 tablets. This unit was called box glass . The board size was 22 inches high and 20 inches wide and grouped in bunches of 20. In some places there were also boxes with 20 discs per bundle. The number of bundles of 20 was the same, so that 400 pieces made a box. For Bohemian plate glass , padded with straw in boxes, the bundle could have between one piece of table and 60 pieces. The smallest slab is said to be 22 inches high and 18 inches wide. The largest slab measured 31 inches by 28 inches.
