    At lower left is what appears to be a drain, probably isn't. It's a cast iron floor plate, near certainty of mounting in front of portable boring mill, large radial drill, or functions as serious assembly table.

    Seeing photo I referred to wasn't specified by post number, *440, is a clean floor etc as described; not shaper and vicinity in post *442.
    What an error! It never happened before..........but plenty of times since then, lol.

    It does indeed look to be glowing hot. I like how it follows the first rollers, then less and less until it is flat on the last rollers

    The rollers look like they maybe glass.

    Post *452, pic of near molten glass sheet.
    Examining pic again, wondering if they are actually 'rollers' at all. There isn't an apparent pillow block or saddle bearing.
    Might they be just forms that glass moves smoothly over? Seems with travel a bit acute to axis of those forms, would impart something like skiving, to reduce the corrugations.
    Not sure a perpendicular feed would do that.

    That would be SOME product Corrugated glass! Haul that into the local window guy "yes, I'd like this little bathroom window re-glazed with THIS" right before whipping it out of the box......
    Anyway, I think the wrinkles appear as it slides/ rolls out, almost like making home made pasta, has to be cradled and laid out to dry. Factory wise, the methods are completely automated.
    I'm far behind in google quests; satisfying those (+ me) who want to know.
