    Abstract: A glass manufacturing apparatus can include an elongated engagement surface rotatable through a rotation angle between a scoring position and a cleaning position. The glass manufacturing apparatus can further include a scoring device to score the glass substrate when the elongated engagement surface is positioned in the scoring position. The glass manufacturing apparatus can further include a cleaning device to clean the elongated engagement surface when the elongated engagement surface is positioned in the cleaning position. In further embodiments, a method of scoring a glass substrate can include, after producing a score line while the elongated engagement surface is positioned in the scoring position, rotating the elongated engagement surface from the scoring position to a cleaning position. The method can further include cleaning the elongated engagement surface while the elongated engagement surface is positioned in the cleaning position.
