Flint glasses and crown glasses are types of glass distinguished by their composition and properties. Flint glass contains a significant amount of lead oxide, which enhances its refractive index and brilliance, making it ideal for fine glassware and optical applications. Crown glass, on the other hand, is made with a lower lead content and is characterized by its clarity and strength, commonly used for windows and lenses. Both types have unique characteristics that cater to different uses in glassmaking.
The specific gravity of crown glass is around 2.55, while for flint glass, it is approximately 6.12. The temperature coefficient of refractive index for crown glass is usually around 86 x 10^-6 per degree Celsius, and for flint glass, it is about 33 x 10^-6 per degree Celsius. Grindability value can vary based on the specific composition of the glass and the method used for measurement.

The achromatic lens was invented by English scientist John Dollond in the 18th century. He developed this lens design to address issues of chromatic aberration in optical instruments like telescopes and microscopes, resulting in improved image quality.

Crown used to sell peanut butter in a drinking glass and seal it with a plastic lid, after the glass was empty, it could be used as a drinking glass. They were also good for storing foods and drinks with the plastic lid. I miss them.
