Method of welding wherein at least two tubular members, are welded to a plate comprising directing a high energy beam welding means along a continuous path extending peripherally of the tubular members and between the tubular members.

Method of welding tubular members

A stream feeder for supply of streams of molten glass for attenuation into fibers. The feeder is formed of metal and is electric-resistance heated. The bottom wall and sidewalls of the feeder are of varied thickness and are formed from a single sheet of metal. The disclosure also includes method and apparatus for forming the bottom wall and varied thickness sidewalls from a single sheet of metal.

Apparatus for producing fibers from heat-softenable materials

A method of and apparatus for fabricating an orificed wall for a feeder for flowing streams of filament forming material such as molten glass by punching an aperture through a plate from one side to the other and then permanently depressing the plate immediately adjacent the aperture at the other side to such an extent that any tendency to bow from the aperture forming operation is essentially negated.
