One of the important stpes in the manufacture of glass by the float process is the control of glass thickness by stretching the ribbon. The first step in a program to model the stretching of float glass is discussed. A simple 1-dimensional analysis is presented for the mechanics of stretching a free ribbon, ie. one without edge constraints in the stretching region.
