Apparatus for manufacturing lamp envelopes for axial-geometry incandescent lamps comprises a plurality of magazines for receiving stacks of lamp envelope components and a transport moveable with respect to the magazines and having component-receiving platforms alignable with ends of the magazines. The platforms are supported on rotatable hubs and the hubs have axial bores through which components are pushed onto the platforms by pusher means. The hubs are supported at one end of a transport arm, the other end of the arm being supported for pivotal movement about an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the hubs so that the transport arm may be moved relative to the magazines. An arrangement of holding magnets and spring-biased slotted plates associated with the platforms controls the holding and release of components.
