The threadlike glass was made in London over 100 years ago; a jacket woven of coarse glass fibers was displayed at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. Owens-Illinois got commercially interested in glass fiber in 1931, when Chemist Games Slayter stumbled across a way to make fluffy glass fibers which could be used for insulation. In 1938 Owens-Illinois and Corning Glass formed Owens-Corning Fiberglas, split 95% of its stock...
