Can someone shed historic light on the way Fender installed frets?

Hello all, this is my first post.

I learned a few years ago that Fender used to install their frets sideways.

What I'd like to know is: when did they start this way of installing frets, and in what timespan did this occur?

Thank you for your time.

Here is my photo of one the current fretting stations at Fender's Corona CA, Facility. Thought you guys might like this... Tom
