A method of making an article having a substrate and a material applied thereto includes providing a metered fluid dispensing system having a supply of fluid to be dispensed, an output device having at least one dispensing nozzle, at least two pumps (104, 106) for pumping fluid from the supply to the at least one dispensing nozzle (188). The pumps (104, 106) are in close proximity to the dispensing nozzle (188). Output supply passageways interconnect the pumps (104, 106) and the dispensing nozzle (188), and flow control elements selectively control the passage of the fluid from the pumps (104, 106) to the nozzle (188). |
