Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring device for measuring the degree of transmission of a coating on a glass plate. The glass plate rests on a support relative to which it is shifted. The support is provided with a gap enabling a light beam to pass through the glass plate and to impinge on a light receiver. Thus, the degree of transmission of the coating can be determined. Further, the reflection and the electric resistance of the coating can be measured by the measuring device.
