Ok, my heart was not in this tour after the problems on the install.
The person that gave the tour was informative and personable.
Here he is explaining what is done with the old glass.

It is brought in and stacked here and then the once the process is started the two pieces of glass are separated from the seal.

The glass is then cleaned and if it is pitted to the point that it cannot be cleaned it is either replaced from their inventory or they have a local supplier that can cut and supply the needed glass within a day

The secrete to the process is the seal that goes between the two pieces of glass. There is a corrugated piece of metal between two permanently flexible seals.

The seal and glass is heated to three hundred degrees with inferred lights in this machine as it exits the clean room where the window is assembled. A small area of the seal is left open so the glass is not stressed by the expansion of the air between the two pieces of glass. No special gasses are used. Only clean dry air is used. Once the seal has been cured the small opening is sealed.

The window is them placed into the frame.

The completed window is then taken to the coach for the install.
Sorry for the poor presentation of the tour, but my heart was just not into it.
