THE HISTORY OF AUTO GLASS - During the early 20th century, horseless carriages started using glass to protect drivers from harsh winds. However, the standard form of glass used in those times didnt adequately protect occupants from flying debris. In 1903, French chemist Edouard Benedictus stumbled upon the secret to shatter-resistant glass when he dropped a glass flask filled with a dried collodion film. He found that the glass coated with the film cracked, but kept its original shape. However, this laminated glass wouldnt be implemented in automobiles until the 1920s. Todays laminated glass consists of a thin layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) inserted between two layers of solid glass.
