Hi all,
Searching the histarch archives is pretty simple.  I recommend it to  
all my students.  Lamp Chimneys have been mentioned a few times, but I  
expect a few other key word searches will help or just following the  
discussion post by post.  It seems that a question related to this was  
killed by a discussion thread about condoms and the history of sex  
back in 1996.  Obviously a more interesting subject than lamp chimney  
glass.
Cheers,
Tim

Cheers,
Tim
