1. A method of depositing a copper metal bus bar on a sheet of dielectric substrate material having an electrically conductive coating disposed thereon, comprising:
- masking an area on a substrate sheet of glass, ceramic, or glass-ceramic material;
heating said area with a reducing flame;
feeding copper metal into a copper metal feeding and heating device;
melting said copper metal to form molten copper metal; and
impinging said molten copper metal at high velocity into electrical contact with an electrically conductive coating in said area, thus forming at least a portion of a copper metal bus bar.

Abstract
Heating head and mask apparatus are provided for producing electrically conductive heated glass panels that may be used to warm objects or insure unobstructed viewing through glass by removing moisture. The heating head and mask apparatus utilizes either a circularly rotating or an inline heating head and mask apparatus, which deposits conductive metal bus bars into electrical contact with electrically conductive-coatings that are-disposed on the glass panels.
