Zusammenfassung:	A glass manufacturing apparatus includes a delivery tube terminating at a lower end in a delivery slot. A stream of molten material is delivered along a travel plane in a travel direction. A first plate is positioned adjacent the lower end of the delivery tube on a first side of the travel plane. The first plate includes a first edge extending adjacent the travel plane and a first thermal expansion slot extending from the first edge to a first interior. A second plate is positioned adjacent the lower end of the delivery tube on a second side of the travel plane. The second plate includes a second edge extending adjacent the travel plane and a second thermal expansion slot extending from the second edge to a second interior. The second edge is spaced apart from the first edge to define a delivery opening through which the delivery tube extends.
