          The next 8 measurements are percentages by weight of oxides.

     '_N_a' sodium.

     '_M_g' manganese.

     '_A_l' aluminium.

     '_S_i' silicon.

     '_K' potassium.

     '_t_y_p_e' The fragments were originally classed into seven types, one
          of which was absent in this dataset.  The categories which
          occur are window float glass ('WinF': 70), window non-float
          glass ('WinNF': 76), vehicle window glass ('Veh': 17),
          containers ('Con': 13), tableware ('Tabl': 9) and vehicle
