Abstract
A press station () and system () for forming glass sheets that are initially formed with an upwardly concave curved shape with end portions () and an intermediate portion () having straight line elements that are subsequently formed with curved shapes to provide curvature along transverse directions. The forming is performed by initially providing curvature to the straight line elements of the glass sheet end portions () while the intermediate portion () still has the straight line elements. The glass sheet intermediate portion is subsequently formed to provide curvature to its straight line elements so the entire glass sheet has curvature in transverse directions.
