               bonding openings in said body portion, said adhesive                   
               bonding openings extending inwardly through said                       
               front end surface of said body portion and being                       
               alignable with said adhesive bonding holes in said                     
               orifice plate;                                                         
                    applying a layer of adhesive material having a

               body portion and said rear side surface of said                        
               orifice plate;                                                         


                    forcing said orifice plate and said body portion                  
               toward one another in a manner ... causing portions                    
               [of said adhesive material] ... to flow into said                      
               adhesive bonding holes and said adhesive bonding                       
               openings ....
