ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for manufacturing glass ribbon by pouring molten glass onto a bath of molten metal. As the glass ribbon advances along the length of the molten metal bath, the edges of the glass ribbon are simultaneously guided and cooled. Guide members positioned within the tank simultaneously guide the advancing glass ribbon by a thrust bearing and cool the edges of the glass ribbon by cooling means. The thrust bearing is separated from the cooling means by thermal insulating means.
