What is a "launder stub"?

Question

What is the meaning here of 'launder stub' in this summary from an abstract:

The container is connected in parallel with a metal supply launder via transversal metal launder stubs respectively provided between the inlet and outlet openings of the container and the metal supply launder . On the other hand, the launder is provided with a dam or valve device by the outlet of the container and another other dam or valve device between the two launder stubs"

The meaning of "launder stub" from the limited information above is best understood pictorially.

Hot (molten) metal is being introduced into a launder trough and thence, via launder 'stubs', into the 'container' which is 'connected in parallel'.

The setup is more complicated than below as there is a process occurring which removes impurities, but that diagram I have not found. However my diagram here shows the basics (from examining the text) of what a 'launder stub' is, which was the question.

so you refer to stub here as a junction? – Maha hasan May 24 '18 at 11:51
@Mahahasan No, the stub launder is a short launder which carries liquid from the supply launder to the final container. – Nigel J May 24 '18 at 17:58
