The stamp collector's primary concern is with twostages of this process.
First, the dandy roll. This cylinder applies to the wetpulp the finish that we describe as "wove" or "laid" paper.If the cylinder is made of a wire screen in which the hori-zontal wires are equal in number to the vertical wires —as, for instance, ordinary mosquito netting — then the
"Wove" paper. pulp that passes under it will be known as "wove" paper.If the surface of the roll is made up of parallel wiresheld in place by widely spaced supporting wires, thepulp passing under it will be known as "laid" paper., i.e. the lines of the dandy roll will appear as laid parallelto each other. The supporting wires, which also showup on laid paper, are called "batonnes" and we have"laid batonne"; or if the wires are close to each otherwe call the result "laid quadrille," or plain "quadrille"paper. |
