This invention relates to a novel bushing apparatus having unique nozzles or projecting orifices for the production of round glass fibers. Particularly, it relates to a bushing having tips with cross-sections in the form of finite-sided polygons. It is shown that the use of noncircular tips to produce round fibers can result in higher tip packing densities, higher throughputs, and increased forming process stability than are now possible using the present state of the art. Tips with square cross-sections are shown to be the most preferred embodiment.
