- Henry Ford was big on safety and the Ford Motor Company was all about installing safety glass in their cars and trucks and was one of the first companies to install windshields with safety or also known as laminated glass for their vehicles. This educational, informational, and promotional original movie shows the exact process that this glass was made.
Ford was one of the first to widely use laminated glass in the US. The story goes that Henry Ford decided he needed to make car windshields safer after he and some of his friends were injured by flying glass in accidents. He produced a laminated safety glass and began using it in ford cars in 1919 in the Model T. This carried over into the Model A and all future Ford cars and trucks.
The historical picture is from the film library of the Bureau of Mines of the United Stated Department of the Interior, Washington DC. Presentation of this film was made possible through the co-operation of the Ford Motor Company and was obtained at the Library of Congress. History is being preserved with their effort.
The original 1930's era Ford movie was a silent movie and I added music to go along with the movie.

Kid, "Gee, Dad, I didn't expect a 21 minute lecture and picture show".They sandwich a sheet of tough transparent plastic between two sheets of regular glass" would have sufficed."😄
