Manufacturing Process Then and Now

Cutting
The basic windscreen shape is cut from a flat form using templates, this is done by hand in the same way today as we did in the 1960's.

After cutting, the glass has its raw edges ground and finished again by hand.
Oven Loading
Glass is loaded into the bending oven as a cut pair. Gravity bending is still used today, here you can see box ovens from Kings Norton (1967).
Bending
Each glass is bent by eye and by hand. The glass is heated until it sags onto the bending mould, once fully bent to the tooling we stop heating and move the glass out of the bending stage onto cooling.

Highly specialised work which to Nick and his team seemed a matter of routine. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they went out of their way to make sure everything was as it should be. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
