Administrative records include corporate record books from LOF and its predecessors: Edward Ford Plate Glass Company (1899-1930), Toledo Glass Company (1895-1931), Libbey- Owens Glass Company (1916-1933), and subsidiaries. Annual reports from LOF Glass Company (1930-1982) and the Pilkington Group (1988-) provide summaries of corporate activities.

Publications, speeches, and reports created by LOF employees and others include manuscripts and research notes from two company-sponsored corporate histories, corporate newsletters (1939-1980), and general glass industry materials.

There are files on 50 distributors and dealers of LOF products across the U.S. (1930s-1970s), press releases (1946-1984), and advertising yearbooks and scrapbooks (1851-1977). "Glass at Work" files serve as a valuable source of information on the actual uses of LOF products, as well as the advertising department's use of "real life" applications for promotional purposes. They include files on glazing in everything from airports to homes (1945-1986). Subjects: Architecture, Business and Commerce and Education and Schools.

The first pull of glass completes the plant’s startup, which began with the groundbreaking in 2018 and led to the start of the plant’s technologically advanced new glass coater on July 6. “The new float line is the largest in the Guardian family of float lines,” explains Guus Boekhoudt, Guardian Glass Executive Vice President. “We’ve implemented an innovative new furnace design with high efficiency combustion systems in order to provide products that meet the stringent quality requirements of our customers, while minimizing both the energy used for production and emissions from the process.” The plant, hosting two float lines, two coater lines and a lamination line, produces Guardian ExtraClear® float glass, Guardian ClimaGuard® low-emissivity (low-E) and Guardian SunGuard® solar control coated glass products as well as laminated glass for residential and commercial applications. By engaging suppliers to provide both proven and innovative solutions to meet production and quality requirements, Guardian Glass took a progressive approach to the design for the new float line, underlining Guardian’s long-term commitment to its customers to be the preferred supplier of glass solutions.

    THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE CALIFORNIA THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION SPECIALISTS ASSOCIATION OF ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTIONTHE OFFICIAL SPECIALISTS PUBLICATION OF THE C ASSOCIATION OF ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION SPECIALISTS ! changes best not taken for granted retrospective of automotive and traffic heroes A Volume 18, Number 4 December 2016 CA2RS.com BOARD BEAT te As I reflect on 2016, I realize the CA2RS organization had another very successful year in many ways! First, in the area of training—arguably the organization’s most important mission—we had a very productive year. Our three quarterly training sessions saw new topics introduced and discussed. The attendance at the quarterly trainings this year, both in Northern and Southern California, was higher than ever. This tells me two things: we are offering interesting training to the membership and the membership is more involved than in past years. This increased involvement by the membership is encouraging to me and the other members of the BOD. The Annual Conference, held this year in South Lake Tahoe, also had greater attendance that we have seen in recent years. Probably the most exciting and memorable event of 2016 was CA2RS participation and involvement in WREX 2016 in May. The WREX Conference was the largest conference ever held in the field of accident investigation and reconstruction with over 800 people in attendance from all over the world. Many people in attendance at the WREX Conference, including folks who have attended several conferences in our field over the years, stated it was the best Conference they had ever attended.
