The apparatus comprises a furnace, a forehearth channel (10) through which molten glass flows to a feeder (14, 16) which forms gobs (12) of molten glass, a gob distributor (24) which distributes the gobs to the sections (30) of a glassware forming machine of the individual section type (26) and control means (50) operable to determine operating parameters for the apparatus to allow a particular article to be manufactured. The parameters including the number of sections (30) which are to receive gobs and the speed at which those sections are to be operated, the parameters being determined from the available melting capacity of the furnace, the weight of the particular article and the speed at which it can be formed. |
