Abstract
Flat glass having superior optical quality is continuously produced by a contiguous float process in which lamellar flows are established in a molten glass conditioner and the flow patterns are maintained in a stream of glass unidirectionally delivered onto a pool of molten metal on which the glass is cooled and unidirectionally attenuated to form a ribbon of glass.
