When. the factory getJ in full operation it will have annual capacity of more than 10, 000,000 square feet of glass. - The. company's, glass plant at Glassmere, Pa., has an . annual output . of 7,000,000 square 3 feet while the smaller' plant at .High land Park, started : about four years, ago, has an experiment and where ; the , Ford method of - glass making was. developed, daily. pro duces 9,500 square feet of glass. And all this great prodqction is necessary to meet the manufactur ins; requirements of the .company which at present call : for more than 20,500,000.; square., feet of glass, a yeardue to. the .Increased, production .of ;Ford cars and .the' coqnstantly growing demand for enclosed types. Glass manufacture has been placed on a day and night con tinuous production basis through the Ford process and as. carried out In the new factory at ..River? Rouge it presents an industrial ac complishment of vast importance and entailing operations interest ing to laymen and expert talike. Every 15 minutes 850 poupds of the mixture is fed into the fur nace opening and these constant additions to the fiery mass within permit , a never-ending,, flow of molten, glass from the , mouth . of the furnace at the opposite side. l As it comes fromf the furnace, flowing lik., molansej f rora ? a tanlw the, moltQU glass is caught up under a roller, spread out and sentm in. a sol jd ribbon 400,feet Ion- at rateof feet, 4 inches every minute. The molten glass leaves the fur nace mouth at 2,1."0 degrees J"ahtepbei, has cooledrto 000 de grees by the imo, It passes, under the rolleV and proceeds ' throqgh a long oven or lehr under lessen ing degrees of heat until it moves out at the end at 70 degrees. There Jt ,is. cut in lengths. The roller system as devised by the Ford Motor Co., gives a uni form thickness to the glass, elim inates the so-called "waves" and saves about-. 2 52i.

Every step "of Ford glass man ufacture is accompanied by the most exacting standards.
