Abstract AN INTERIOR COATED LAMP ENVELOPE HAVING A THICK-WALLED BULBOUS PORTION IS MANUFACTURED BY FIRST COATING AN INTERIOR REGION OF A LENGTH OF QUARTZ TUBING WITH A LAYER OF BORIC OXIDE. THIS MAY BE DONE BY BUBBLING NITROGEN GAS THROUGH LIQUID TRIMETHYL BORATE AND FEEDING THE RESULTANT VAPORS, ALONG WITH AIR, THROUGH THE QUARTZ TUBING WHILE ROTATING IN A GLASS LATHE AND HEATING THE REGION THEREOF WHICH IS TO BE FORMED INTO A THICK-WALLED BULBOUS PORTION. WHILE CONTINUING THE HEATING, THE ENDS OF THE TUBING ARE FORCED TOWARD EACH OTHER THEREBY FORMING A THICK-WALLED BULBOUS PORTION AND AT THE SAME TIME BAKING THE DEPOSITED COATING OF BORIC OXIDE.
