<p>A molten glass delivery system for use in producing sheet glass by a fusion process is provided. The delivery system includes a first conduit ( 9 ) which surrounds a portion of a second conduit ( 19 ) with a free surface ( 21 ) of molten glass ( 31 ) being formed between the two conduits. The first ( 9 ) and second ( 19 ) conduits are positioned with respect to one another so that the spatial relationship between the exit end ( 20 ) of the second conduit ( 19 ) and the free surface ( 21 ) results in neither substantial numbers of devitrification defects ( 27, 29 ) nor substantial numbers of blister defects ( 35 ) in finished sheets of devitrification sensitive glass, e.g., high silica LCD glass.</p> |
