A dryer section apparatus (10) as disclosed for drying a web of paper (W). The apparatus (10) includes a plurality of dryer groups (12, 14, 16) disposed successively relative to one another, such that the web (W) is progressively dried during movement thereof through the dryer groups (12, 14, 16). The plurality of groups (12, 14, 16) include a first single-tier group (12) for drying the first side (18) of the web (W), and a second two-tier group (14) disposed downstream relative to the first group (12). A second single-tier group (16) is disposed downstream relative to the two-tier group (14) for restraining the web (W) against cross-machine directional shrinkage.
