Children's treasures. Colored glass beads with a diameter of about two centimeters. The most valuable are blue, green and brown balls. In the fall of the balls are not broken, they are only split off pieces.

One of the main advantages of the balls was a mystery of their origin.





Balls ever found or received as a gift. There are several versions of the "official" destination and origin balls:
1. The ball is in aerosol containers, where craftsmen have been removed;
2. Balls are a way to transport glass containers, in particular in rail transport.

Glass beads were children's currency in exchange relations. They are also worn as talismans and, of course, used for games. Special rules of the game, both in the West was not. Just needed to successfully snap your fingers on your ball, so he knocked the "field" enemy ball.

Used glass beads and adults: the Institute of Chemical orientation (to displace the air from the tube), for interior decoration (balls "soldered" to the wall), to decorate aquariums.



Further remarks from various "nostalgic" forums:

We were near the airport and talked, and there is a legend of their origin: when the plane takes off from the friction of the chassis on asphalt and huge temperature asphalt and every dust-dirt on it melt, and then glaze.

And my older brother brought these balls from the glass factory - they are friends climbed over the fence and gained their pockets full. They said that these balls there - a dime a dozen, lying everywhere. I was full of green, one red and the most beloved - blue.

I remember the whole court went to the railway station to search for these balls. Were rarely and with great joy. And we have such balls were "freely - convertible currency" ... and we exchange ... Colorless - the cheapest, dark green - 1 unit = 10 colorless, blue and milky-white - at least 20 pieces of transparent. We rolled these balls in the hole. Who is the most accurate - and that takes away all the wealth

we have been following the theory of the origin of these beads - at the studio during filming for the image of glittering treasures particularly used, well then of course turned out in our yard somehow ...

And we have come to the school and asked the police to hand over the glass beads, they allegedly poisonous. Just because I think no one, would not talk to the police drove in each class. No of course not passed ... But maybe radioactive waste so transported? We found them on the rail, the colors of all shades of blue and green.

The main purpose of these initial and glass beads tumbling. Rather balls themselves are tumbling bodies.

Tumbling bodies are used in the processing of the measuring, medical and hand tools; automotive parts, motorcycles, bicycles, watches; cutlery; turbine blades; propellers; gears; hardware; hardware; ferrites; porcelain insulators; sanitary fittings; chains; cutlery; buttons; parts of prostheses; furniture, shoe, etc. metallofunitury and much more.

Tumbling bodies are used as a filler in the processing of parts for deburring, rust, blunting the edges, reduce roughness, surface hardening:

in rotating drums of different types (rotary, console, sealed, perforated, planetary, etc.); a vibrating container, which is used instead of the rotational vibration effects in the 2 or 3 directions, which enables the processing of small and delicate parts without damage.



Glass beads - a spherical molded articles made by boiling quartz sand, fluorspar, limestone, alumina, boric acid, etc. In a glass melting furnace at high temperature. Glass beads are made with a diameter of 22 ± 1 mm. They contain boron oxide (B2O3), the weight percentage of not less than 7%. On the physico-chemical properties of glass beads are non-toxic, explosive, flammable. These characteristics allow the neutral is widely used glass beads. Glass balls are semi-finished product, raw material for the production of glass for various purposes, production of woven and non-woven fibers. Also, the glass beads are used for the dispersion of solids and liquids (especially often in a bead mill). As packaging for glass beads used soft containers Big-Bag, designed for the transport and storage of bulk cargoes.
