Abstract
A gob distributor has two scoops, one arranged to be aligned with some sections of the machine to deliver gobs thereto and the other arranged to be so aligned with other sections of the machine. Turning means is operable to turn the scoops to bring them to desired orientations for alignment with their respective sections and moving means is operable to move the distributor to bring either of the scoops below a feeder orifice from which gobs are supplied. In this way, the scoops share the distribution function. If more than one gob is to be supplied simultaneously, further pairs of scoops can be used.
