Vacuum tubes.-In the machine described in the parent Specification for making lamp bulbs &c., the device for detecting leaky bulbs and sealing them off before they pass through the exhausting stages of the machine Ýs modified to prolong the sealing-off operation to ensure its completion. A casing y is provided as described in the parent Specification with two membrane, partitions y<1>, y<2> connected together by a rod y<2> and forming an upper chamber y<14>, in which a vacuum is maintained and containing a membrane-controlling spring y<16>, and a lower chambery<11> connected by a pipe y<13> to the first exhaust stage of the machine, and by a pipe y<12> to thepumps. If a bulb entering the first exhaust position is leaky, the consequent movement of the membranes causes contacts y<18>, y<27> to close an electric circuit through a solenoid y<26> which opens a valve y<6> to pass gas to a burner y<10> to seal off the bulb. A relay y<22> acts at the same time to close a second circuit through the solenoid by way of contacts y<31>, y<33>. If the membranes again separate the contacts y<18>, y<27> before the sealing- off operation is completed, the second circuit through the solenoid remains closed to complete the operation until the bulb passes to the next position in the machine, when a rotating cam y<35> or other means forcibly separates the contacts y<31>, y<33>.
