<p>Wide woven fabric (10) having dipped and treated cords (19, 20, 23, 24) is made by first connecting warp cords (19, 20) of relatively strong material in at least two narrow sheets (11, 12). The narrow sheets (11, 12) are dipped and treated after which they are positioned in loom letoff rolls (17,18) adjacent a loom (26) where they are joined to form a wide fabric (10) having a width greater than the width of eigher of the narrow sheets (11,12). The warp cords (19, 20) from the narrow sheets (11,12) are guided from the letoff rolls (17, 18) into the loom (26) and during the process the narrow sheets (11,12) may be run through a cord separating apparatus (29) to separate the warp cords (19, 20). The warp cords (19, 20) may be woven in the loom (26) with a dipped and treated weft cord (31) to provide a wide reinforcing sheet (10) with a heavy woven construction having a width greater than the width of any one of the narrow sheets (11, 12).</p> |
