The molten core glass is
placed in the inner crucible.
The molten cladding glass
is placed in the outer crucible.
The two glasses come together at the base of the outer cucible and a fibre is drawn.
Long fibres can be produced (providing you don't let the content of the crucibles run dry!).
Step-index fibres and graded-index fibres can be drawn with this method.
