Abstract: The alloy of the invention provides a low coefficient of thermal expansion alloy having a CTE of about 4.9.times.10.sup.-6 m/m/.degree.C. or less at 204.degree. C. and a relatively high strength. The alloy contains about 40.5 to about 48 nickel, about 2 to about 3.7 niobium, about 0.75 to about 2 titanium, about 0 to about 1 aluminum, about 3.7 or less total niobium plus tantalum and a balance of iron and incidental impurities. Alloys of the invention may be aged to a Rockwell C hardness of at least about 30.

Abstract: A method of producing filled sandwich cookies to be fed by an auger into an ice cream stream to produce ice cream with filled cookies comprising baking dough in units of multiple cookie elements, of substantially round shape, applying filling to each cookie element of a portion of the units which have been produced, sandwiching other units onto the filling, and then separating the multiple sandwich cookie units into individual sandwich cookies; the units comprise multiple cookie elements of approximately round shape, and each of which is between one-half inch and seven eighths inch diameter, the units containing two rows with three cookies in each row, with juncture lines between adjacent cookies.
