glass factories
Where windows originate
Glass factories are facilities where glass is manufactured, typically through melting silica sand with other materials at high temperatures.
The term usually appears in discussions of industrial history, labor conditions, or manufacturing processes: The town's economy depended on its glass factories.
Child labor in glass factories was common in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
