ABSTRACT:
The rate at which glass optical fiber can satisfactorily be coated with a primary plastics coating by a liquid application method is enhanced by causing the fiber to enter the liquid contained in a coating vessel via a suction tube in which a partial vacuum is maintained by an air induction device. Optionally a funnel is used to deflect the exhaust away from the incoming uncoated fiber.
