Zusammenfassung:	A weir assembly suitable for use in conjunction with a rotary table is described for use in producing flakes of solid material from solutions or from molten metal baths. In particular the novel weir assembly of the instant invention is described with reference to the preparation of sodium-lead alloys. The assembly of the invention includes a tank, baffled to provide for the smoothing out of waves which might form during the filling of the tank with molten alloy. The weir plate is provided with a notched top portion to provide a uniform sheet of molten material flowing down the face thereof. The molten metal is contacted with the cooling table surface off the surface of a spreading means positioned at the bottom of the plate.
