Abstract
A small hole may be formed in a wall of a flexible member or structure such as a tube of a thermoplastic material by an apparatus including a rotating wheel by a laser beam source directed towards the wheel, and rotating reflecting means for reflecting the beam from this source so as to direct the beam towards a specific area of the flexible member. Preferably the flexible member is held against a surface of the wheel as the beam is directed so as to engage only a single point on the surface of the flexible member.
