ABSTRACT:
A stacking method is employed to assemble a structure which includes a plurality of substantially identical, uniformly spaced parallel glass plates. The method includes the use of a fixture having a slotted surface in which rigid cylindrical spacers can be slidably disposed. Each glass plate is placed with its edge surface on the slotted surface and spaced from the adjacent plates by at least two of the cylindrical spacers, each of the spacers being disposed in a separate slot. Reference planes which are perpendicular to the surface of the fixture are provided so as to maintain the plates in the desired spatial relation. Then, a glass base is bonded onto the opposing edge surface of each of the spaced glass plates. The glass plates and glass base are preferably chosen to be of the same material. The spacers are chosen to be of a material having an expansion coefficient slightly greater than that of the glass plates and glass base.
