"Pictures are made up of tones created by tiny dots scratched on the surface of the glass with a diamond or tungsten carbide point. The more dots applied the lighter the tone achieved, the lightest tone being where the whole surface has been removed. The half tones depend on the dots being separated by minute areas of clear glass."
