ABSTRACT:
A method of and apparatus for controlling the breakage of glass fibers comprising: feeding a supply of molten glass through an orificed wall to form glass streams; attenuating the glass streams to form a plurality of glass fibers; gathering the glass fibers into glass strands; forming the glass strands into a wound package; determining when a break has occurred in the fibers; determining the location of such break; and positioning a stream of fluid at the orificed wall at the location of the break to inhibit further breakage of fibers that are adjacent to the location of the break.
