ABSTRACT:
A method of producing a high pressure discharge lamp arc tube having discharge electrodes extending from respective press seals into opposing end chambers of continuously reducing cross-section. The press seals are positioned offset from the axis of the arc tube in a direction normal to their plane by positioning the lead-through and discharge electrode within the end portion of a length of tube of vitreous material offset from the tube axis by a predetermined distance, heating the end portion of the tube to its softening temperature, and moving opposing press jaws against said end portion in such a manner that the press seal is formed about said lead-through offset in a direction normal to the plane of the press seal and away from the tip-off. The press jaws may include mold portions for accurately forming the end chambers. During pressing, the tube is pressurized with a gas to blow mold the end chambers in the mold portions.
