Abstract
Gobs of molten glass are sensed as they pass along a path (12) which leads to a mold arrangement (10) of a glassware forming machine. Ultrasonic radiation is transmitted towards a point on the path so that the radiation is reflected by the gob to a detector (30). One or more parameters of the radiation detected are compared with an equal number of expected parameters for the radiation and a signal indicating the presence of a gob is produced if the or each parameter is consistent with its equivalent expected parameter.
