A non-woven fiber web laying apparatus including ( 1 ) a camel back cross lapper having a supply arm, a layering arm connected thereto, and two delivery transport belts guided in juxtaposed fashion from an infeed zone to a lower end of the layering arm and ( 2 ) an upstream web buffering apparatus adapted to hold a web between two take-up transport belts at least one of which is one of the two delivery transport belts, the apparatus sandwiching the web substantially the entire path from the take-up site to the layering-arm lower end. While at least one of the two take-up transport belts of the web buffering apparatus is one of the delivery transport belts of the cross lapper, in one embodiment both of the take-up transport belts are the delivery transport belts. In another embodiment, only one of the take-up transport belts is a delivery transport belt, the other being a pressure belt operating only within the web buffering apparatus.
