Making Model A Ford Glass; The Ford Assembly Line

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.
