Abstract
A column of molten glass is cut transversely to make a plurality of glass gobs by means of a cutting device having an elongated piece orthogonal to a conveying direction of the column and carried by a moveable frame operated by a motor controlled by a unit to rotate the piece at either constant or variable speed in one or both directions of rotation about a fixed hinged axis orthogonal to the conveying direction of the glass column.
