Abstract
In flat glass manufacture on a molten metal bath, there is forward flow of molten metal entrained by accelerating glass over an upstream return flow of cooler molten metal which is received in a deepened region of the bath. Upstream molten metal flows are drawn from that deepened region to replenish the molten metal entrained by the accelerating ribbon.
