How Was The Light Bulb Made?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    A furnace, a continuous ribbon of glass moves along a conveyor belt.
    Precisely aligned air nozzles blow the glass through holes in the
    conveyor belt into molds, creating the casings. A ribbon machine moving
    at top speed can produce more than 50,000 bulbs per hour. After the
    casings are blown, they are cooled and then cut off of the ribbon
    machine. Next, the inside of the bulb is coated with silica to remove
    the glare caused by a glowing, uncovered filament. The company emblem
    and bulb wattage are then stamped onto the outside top of each casing
