Clarification needed

The final paragraph is unclear:

According to the website of the London Crown Glass Company[1], broad sheet glass was first made in the UK in Sussex in 1226 CE. This glass was of poor quality and fairly opaque. Manufacture slowly decreased and ceased by the early 16th Century. French glassmakers and others were making broad sheet glass earlier than this.

Does "earlier than this" mean earlier than 1226 CE or earlier than the early 16th Century? This sentence also needs a citation.Terriblefish (talk) 02:05, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

broad sheet and redirect

Hi! Broad sheet redirects here. The problem is some newspaper paper infoboxes uses it as newspaper format, such as Prothom Alo. Could you fix that? Pamputt (talk) 17:07, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Needs totally revising

I'm afraid there are two totally different types of window glassmaking being described and illustrated here. Very briefly: BROAD - is cast onto a table and then flattened with a roller. SHEET - where glass is blown into cylinders, while being swung in a pit to stretch it. The ends are then cut off and the cylinder split down the length where it is then flattened. I hope this helps.
