FEEDER CONDUITS FOR A GLASS FURNACE ABSTRACT A feeder conduit is disclosed for conveying molten glass from a forehearth of a glass furnace to a glass forming machine. The feeder conduit includes an elongated conduit which receives molten glass from the forehearth and delivers the molten glass to an inlet of a bowl-shaped container. The container has an orifice in its bottom for withdrawing the molten glass therefrom and a vertical cylinder disposed within the container and above the orifice. The cylinder and side wall of the container opposite the inlet of the container define a semi-annular channel therebetween and a first electrode is inserted in the molten glass upstream of said cylinder and a second electrode is inserted in the molten glass within the semi-annular channel. The first and second electrodes are offset from the centerline of the feeder conduit. As the molten glass flows through the inlet in the con- tainer, around the cylinder and through the semi-annular channel, an electric current passes between the electrodes to heat the molten glass.
