Q. Looking for help identifying an Author of a quote on the museum wall.

I took a picture of this quote on one of the museum walls near the glass breaking demonstrations. "Had we been aware of the horrors which were to come it is unlikely that we would have proceeded”.

I can't make out the author of said quote and I would love to know who said it and what it was in reference to. Thank you.

The quote is credited to Sir Alastair Pilkington in 1976. He was referring to developing float glass.

Pilkington's website gives some details: http://www.pilkington.com/pilkington-information/about+pilkington/education/float+process/default.htm

Please let me know if you would like additional information.

I hope you return to Corning and the museum soon!

Thank You!
