HISTORY & PROVENANCE
This document is part of a larger collection of approximately 60 or more vintage engineering drawings, accompanied by factory correspondence and other historical manufacturing paperwork.
The collection was preserved by my father, who worked at a glass manufacturing facility. According to our family history, these documents were being discarded when the factory closed, and he was given permission to keep them.
Rather than being lost during the factory closure, these historical documents were saved and have remained in our family’s possession.
