- By the time the Model A came around Henry Ford had automotive glass production mastered. Applying his moving assembly line concept to mixing, pouring, polishing, and cutting glass he was turning out millions of square feet of glass a year.
We took 11 different archive films and spliced this compilation together. It looks like most of the glass being made is door and rear window glass, there's no obvious signs of Triplex Safety Glass being manufactured in this film.
A Model A is dedicated to the history of the Model A Ford using historical images and videos as well as modern resources.

Such a highly involved process. This was incredible to see.
The safety glass was a good idea.
My Father was a furnace specialist at the glass plant in River Rouge.
That's pretty cool. Can't imagine the conditions that he worked under. Thanks for sharing!
Really fascinating. I love the safety gear for cutting glass. They had everything except safety glasses of course. Cutting hand off is bad, Stabbing eye out is ok. If I'm not mistaken only the windshield was safety glass. The side and rear windows were still regular plate glass.
That's correct, only the windshields were safety glass. It is strongly encouraged that all the glass in original cars today be changed out to safety glass.
Thanks for watching!
You're right. My 31 Tudor sedan had safety glass windshield while the others were plate glass. I guess the rear seat passengers were'nt valued very highly.
Amazed by the guys walking on the glass.
It would be interesting to see the Assembly Operation Sheet for this process and see how Ford instructed the workers to do this.
Super interesting! I truly enjoy these historical videos. 👍
Glad you like them!
Very interesting. I still have the original windshield from my Canadian made '30 Model A Coupe. But still no safety glass.
Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching!
@@AModelA You are very welcome
Fascinating! Thanks for posting.
Happy to share!
Its so interesting to see how things were done nearly 100 yrs ago! the fact that when he had the bad wreck and jumped to fix a major safety issue is really a wonderful thing! I bet they knew it was a problem but when an engineer had first hand experience and severe injury he was quick to do something about it. No telling how many lives were saved due to this 1 change and untold number of severe injuries avoided too. It reminds me of volvo designing the seat belt and not patenting it and allowing the rest of the automotive industry bring them into their vehicles as well!
Volvo did patent the seat belt- and they freely licensed it to all who agreed to cross licensing on the patents they held. Not as magnanimous as you might think, but rether brilliant way to prevent others from sueing them. Also, Ford clearly got into the glass business to save money on glass production and the safety glass was an easy way for them to market a safer product- it is clear they used the safety glass to sell cars based on the film evidence showing this- saving lives was an added benefit so it was a good thing.
@@WilliamLaakkonen thanks for the additional info.
Fascinating and well done ! Thank you for sharing this !
Glad you enjoyed it
It's hard to imagine this Labour intensive slow process could keep up with the car production line
Thank you for the info.
I love to learn about the early Fords and how they came to be.
Glad to hear!
I am amazed by the large number of people it took to make these cars.
Great content! Keep up the good work. Love this historic footage. Is there footage from the FORD TRI-MOTOR PRODUCTION somewhere?
There is, the videos live on the Library of Congress' website. We may splice something together and post if you're interested.
@@AModelA Go for it! I've enjoyed every video. Always loved the automobile, both the cars and trucks. If I could find the right vehicle, I might have to buy it. Just soakin' everything up like a sponge. The factory footage is amazing to watch. The job had to be very dangerous.
We posted a Trimotor assembly video yesterday. Thanks for the idea!
Great to watch. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Another great 👍 👌 thank you
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Really enjoyed the video ---- didn't know ----- Thank You
Thanks for watching!
Nice job!
Thanks!
Very interesting excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Plate glass is one of the FIRST original parts of any veteran car to throw into the nearest rubbish skip...not worth dying over a detail.
Agreed. No need to keep original glass around on anything other than a museum piece. Thanks for watching!
Libby OWENS Ford still making glass!!
Good to see a long time American Company still producing. Thanks for watching!
More vids☺😊
It's clear now ☺️.
❤😊
I’ve got a 29 Model A and a 29 Chevy. Hope they never meet in Columbia Mo..
The Dodge Bros. used to work for Ford. Fact!
У рабочих нет средств защиты! Кошмар они дышат стеклянной пылью.
ford had his problems, but consider the audacity and drive to do what he did.
No mention of LOF...Libbey Owens Ford...safety glass??? What a stupid omission!!! Toledo, Ohio, just south of Ford's River Rouge main plant, ain't gonna be very happy with you.
LOF had nothing to do with Ford Motor Company. Totally unrelated to Henry Ford.
@@williamevans2176 By the summer of 1899, Edward Ford's Rossford glass works were ready to make glass. The first cast of plate glass was made on October 28, 1899. By 1910, the factory included a casting department containing seven large 20 pot furnaces. Ford went on to purchase additional acreage and constructed a second plant which began operation in 1913. His succession plan ensured that the company remained owned and managed by the family by naming his son, George Ross Ford, as his successor upon his death in 1920.
In 1928, the Libbey-Owens Sheet Glass Company was the first company to produce automotive laminated safety glass and won a contract to supply the Ford Motor Company with windshields for the Model A. As a result of Ford's demand for glass, Libbey-Owens merged with the Edward Ford Plate Glass Company in 1930 to form Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Company.

I was fascinated by the thought process for putting safety glass in their cars. Their engineer was severely hurt in an accident when he was thrown through the windshield. So they made the windshield unpenetrable so people will smash their skulls on an unprenetrable safety glass. Why did they stop there?? Why not? let's put seat belts in cars so people aren''t thrown into windshields in the first place.
