How are Glass Catridge Fuse's Made? The smaller clear glass type have a glass tube between the two end-caps. The fuse wire is soldered to both ends and the wire is taught. How do they get the wire taught inside the glass tube, without being able to get inside it to hold it steady?

I must have replaced thousands over the years and though being possessed of a very enquiring mind . I never felt the urge to find out how the fuses were made ! I have actually once or twice pulled the metal ends off a blown fuse and threaded new fuse wire through that was about 4 inch long, the wire did not sag as I remember and I re soldered the end caps and cut the wire to length !! and ended up with a fuse that looked like new . Hope this satisfies your curiosity . Cheers Pete .

oh, boy, that is so simple, they do it in airless environment
and the little glass berrels are cut to lenght and the ends are put on, then wires are soldered, with a bit of glue in the caps, it becomes sealed.
