Curved Windshield Increases Speed Of Army Douglas A-26 Toledo, O. (U.R) When work ers at Libbey-Owens-Ford here talk about "wrap around" pro duction, they re not discussing casy-to-slip-into houscdresses. The term refers to a method of producing one of the largest of airplane windshields for the Douglas A-26. The plane was used to knock out enemy supply dumps and ground cmplao ments in the European theater. A contributing factor in the plane's speed, company officials said, is the curved glass wind shield and 4.000 of the as semblies have been turned out so far. Technicians explain that the outsized windshield is vital In eliminating "blind spots" that would occur if a windshield were made in sections. The prob lem of maintaining good optical properties was overcome when glass was placed vertically against special molds and allow ed to "wrap around" the mold with the application of carefully controlled temperatures.
