In the frame above, the hot blowpipe with a large gather was just tossed
from one worker to another!
Mold Boy. There is a pitcher of cold water to cool off the mold after each
piece is blown.
In the video you watch a gather being marvered (on a plate on the floor),
water is used to cool off the plate.
Video documentation of glass manufacturing in India, with unique footage of
glass factories in Firozobad. Factories visited include OM Glass Factory,
Ceeraj Glassworks Ltd., and Prince Glass Ltd. Workers (including young boys)
are seen making bangles, vases, headlights (lamps) for automobiles, and
other tableware items. Of special note are the workers who toss the
blowpipes to each other, the use of a mandrel for making bangles, and the
use of a side lever press for making tableware and headlights.
Filmed in the glass factories of Firozabad, India.
Narrator, Norman Faulkner.
Production assistant, Marie DeRoy.
Title from title frame.
This same title is available on VHS , produced in 1991, which is 40 minutes
in length. Per Norman Faulkner, they are the same, except that the 2004
release [which is what is on YouTube] has been edited.
