Reference excerpt

G.James Glass & Aluminium is an Australian industrial company, producing glass and aluminium products. G.James is a major Australian glass processor, aluminium window and door fabricator & contractor and production of extruded aluminium profiles.

Company history The origin of the G.James Group of Companies began in 1913 when an enterprising George James arrived in Australia after migrating from England. After working for various building related companies in Brisbane, George decided to use his skills as a glazier, along with his knowledge of sales and purchasing, to establish G.James Glass Merchants at West End (Brisbane) in 1917. Initially the business was based on buying cases of glass and selling it cut-to-size to timber joiners in Queensland and New South Wales. Upon George's death in 1958 his son-in-law Joseph (Joe) Saragossi, together with his wife Pearle and sister-in-law Gertie Baratin, founded a private company in 1959. Joe Saragossi's son Lewis took over as chairman of directors in 2006, and at the same time, Lewis' daughter Rachel became a director. In 2006, the company won an Australian Window Association (AWA) Design Award for the Best Use of Windows and Doors. The company has since been recognised for innovation in glass, for example, its design of a bifold door retractable roller screen and as winner of the Residential Window or Glass Project Over $80K award at the 2024 AGWA Queensland Design & Industry Awards.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with G.James Glass & Aluminium

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what G.James Glass & Aluminium claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to G.James Glass & Aluminium before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about G.James Glass & Aluminium ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of G.James Glass & Aluminium

In research: G.James Glass & Aluminium appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses G.James Glass & Aluminium in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: G.James Glass & Aluminium is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Aluminium companies of Australia, Australian brands, Australian company stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for G.James Glass & Aluminium outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
