CONT

Dew Drop glass is the Victorian name sometimes used for hobnail glass, which has a regular pattern of raised knobs like the hobnail studs sometimes used on boot soles. It was developed by an artist at Hobbs Brockunier and Co. in West Virginia in 1886, and was made by first pressing the glass into a mold with hobnails all over it, and then hand-blowing and shaping the piece. In that sense it is just a Victorian name for blown, translucent, Hobnail Glass.

Record 4 1986-06-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Rabbit Farming
CONT

Even the smallest rabbittry benefits from an automatic or semi-automatic system. The simplest watering system is semi-automatic. You fill a holding tank(perhaps just a large bucket) elevated above the hutches, and the water flows down through pipes alongside the cages. Valves are inserted into the pipe at each cage. The rabbits bite on the valves to release the water. There are two types of valves. The "dewdrop" valve has a metal stem in it which is dislodged when bit or licked. This allows the water to trickle through. After a rabbit has stopped drinking, the stem drops back into the valve opening and is held in place by the water pressure.

Record 5 1986-06-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Rabbit Farming
CONT

Even the smallest rabbitry benefits from an automatic or semi-automatic system. The simplest watering system is semi-automatic. There are two types of valves : the dewdrop valve and the pivoting valve. With a pivoting valve, the stem is on a spring. It bends out of the way during drinking; then swings back to stop the water flow. Pivoting and other spring-loaded valves are less sensitive to line pressure.
