Abstract:
A method of drawing a material into sheet form includes forming a preform comprising at least one material as a large aspect ratio block wherein a first transverse dimension of the preform is much greater than a second transverse dimension substantially perpendicular to the first transverse dimension. A furnace having substantially linearly opposed heating elements one spaced from the other is provided and the heating elements are energized to apply heat to the preform to create a negative thermal gradient from an exterior surface along the first transverse dimension of the preform inward toward a central plane of the preform. The preform is drawn in such a manner that the material substantially maintains its first transverse dimension and deforms across its second transverse dimension.

Claim (Index 3):
The method according to  claim 2 , wherein prior to applying heat, the first preform section and the second preform section are part of one first preform and that the furnace, into which the first preform section is fed is also the furnace, into which subsequently the second preform section is fed.
