In a process for the manufacture of a strand of glass fibers, glass filaments are withdrawn from a source with the aid of a rotating pulling surface. The glass filaments are caused to dwell on the pulling surface adjacent and parallel to one another. After an angle of rotation around the pulling surface, the glass filaments are lifted from the pulling surface and the glass filaments are turned at a turn-around in a direction away from the pulling surface. The glass filaments are cushioned as they are turned in the direction away from the pulling surface with an air cushion. After lifting the glass filaments, the glass filaments are consolidated in a direction transverse to a direction of rotation of the pulling surface and the glass filaments are drawn in another direction parallel to a direction of a radius extending from an axis of rotation of the pulling surface. An apparatus capable of carrying out the process is also provided.
