DKCKMIIKU :'.. p'-uirc tiift'fij'S Leaders in Hudson-Essex 1929 Line FLYING GftSS When the new Model A Ford nutiinlg- jyua beiiitf desiKiied, one of the factors whitth wuh nlven most careful nltemlon was that of hulhiiiiK Into the ear every poKslhle snffKuitnl ueaitLst accidents. One ttf the most Milking disco v . f ries in the anu lysis if iiuinriiobil. , ui-iidents was that li't per cent of all the Injuries resulting from mown- ear m-i-ldems were helnt; -j iMUfted by'flyliiK kIush. The unul- vsis also howed that in the Kreat majority at casps the'danKerouK pieces of kIurs came from ih windshield of the car. So Henry Kord and his HUiff de cided that the windshields of the new model A Fords should he shat terproof sinus. The best shatter proof k'lriKs made was selected and specified as standard eoulpment for nil model A Ford, windshields. The Ford Motor company inMalh-d fn Us own gins plants to make triplex, shatterproof glass and secured the .manufacturing rights and today thousands of shatter proof Ford windshields are made daily in Ford factories. The process of making this glass is one of the most interesting and newest development in the auto motive field. The windshields are made of two' .sheets of fine glass, sealed .logtther, under high pres sure, by a layer of crystal-clear material of cellulose base which holds the glass together in case it is cracked or hj-uken by, impact. Repealed tests have shown that not even the smallest particles of glass from these windshields can break loose and fly when they are struck the heavy blows that so fre iiuently cause serious injury to driver and passengers.
