In order to insure proper heat conditions within the tunnel, so that the sheets of glass may at first be suiiiciently weakened to per# mitgravity to thoroughly flatten the sheets sheets may gradually cool and be thoroughly annealed, I arrangel in the tunnel below rods 15 a plurality of transverse partitions 20 so that the tunnel isvdivided into a series of compartments or chambers 21, the heat condition of each of which may be independently determined by proper regulation of one or more burners 22 arranged in each chamber. Each of said chambers is rovided at its bottom with doored venti ating openings 23. Other valved'ventilating openings 24 in the upper region of the tunnel are provided so that the heatconditions in any one of the compartments 21 may be regulated and accurate- 75 ly determined.
I claim as my invention:
1. A flattening oven for window -glass comprising a main' flattening chamber, an annealing tunnel, a settling chamber forming a connection between the flattening go chamber andthe .receiving end of the tunnel, and in unobstructed communication therewith whereby a ilattening temperature will be maintained therein from the heat in the flattening chamber, and means for re- 95 ceiving and forwarding successive sheets of glass from the main chamber through the settling chamber and into and through the tunnel.
2. A flattening oven for window glass x00 comprising a main flattening chamber, an
divided into a plurality of successive compartments, heatin means for independently controlling the eat conditions of each compartment, a settlin cham- 10| ber forming aconnection between e dat ofvtlia.v tunnel, and in unobstructed communication? 21. Proper regulap therewith whereby a flattening temperature will be maintained therein from the heat in the iattening chamber,.and means for receiving and forwarding ysuccessive sheets of `glass from the main chamber through lthe settling chamber and into and through the tunnel by successive steps from one tunnel chamber to another. u v
3. A flattening `oven for window glass comprising a main flattening chamber, an
- annealing tunnel divided into a plurality of successive compartments, means for independently controllingthe heat conditions of each compartment, a settling chamber forming a connection between the `iattening chamber and the receiving end of the tun-- f nel, and in unobstructed communication sive steps fro other.

means extending from the main chamber through the settlingt chamber and tunnel upon which successive sheets of glass may be received 1n the mam chamber .and forwarded first into and through the settling chamber and thence into and through the tunnel. K v i In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at Okmulgee, Oklahoma, this 15th' day of November, A. D. one thousand nine hundred and twrg six.
