Abstract
A method and apparatus for automatically stopping an automatic glassware forming machine in an orderly sequence of steps. When it is desired to start the machine, a start routine is initiated to move the various glassware forming mechanisms into the appropriate starting positions such that the glassware forming cycle can begin. A stop routine is provided to cycle the glass from the machine and to move the various glassware forming mechanisms into a stationary position where they can be easily accessed. In accordance with the present invention, if the stop routine is intiated before at least one predetermined exit point in the start routine, the stop routine will be entered at an intermediate step such that only those steps concerned with moving the forming mechanisms into the final stationary position will be performed.
