Abstract
Parts (10) to receive a thin strip of solder are advanced along top surfaces of a pair of upwardly inclined channel plates (26, 27). Pressurized solder (31) is pumped between the plates to a precise head which projects as a meniscus (28) above the top surfaces of the channel members and is deposited on the advancing parts. The head of solder is maintained at a height to insure a partial flow of solder through a V-shaped trough (51). Any fluctuations in the height of head of solder is rapidly compensated by an increased or decreased flow of solder through the trough. A significant reservoir of solder is maintained between the channel plates so that the solder is held at a substantially constant temperature.
