ABSTRACT:
A plurality of optical waveguide preforms are simultaneously formed by depositing on a plurality of starting members layers of glass soot to build up a coating on each starting member. The soot layers are deposited by traversing a series of burners along the starting members in such a manner that a given one of the burners traverses the first starting member from a first end thereof to a second end thereof to form a layer of soot thereon. The remaining burners of the series similarly traverses the first starting member, a plurality of burners traversing the first starting member at any given time. After the first burner has traversed the first starting member it similarly traverses the second starting member. After the last of the series of burners has begun its traverse along the first starting member, the first of the series of burners completes its traverse of the second starting member and again begins traversing the first starting member immediately following the last of the series of burners.
