PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process for handling an end of a tow of fibers during manufacture and subsequent processing prior to splicing thereof. SOLUTION: This process includes a step of applying a clip to the free end of the two prior to transport of the tow. The fibers are preferably carbon fiber precursors. The clip is preferably removed and the tow is spliced prior to the steps of oxidation and carbonization to form the carbon fibers. |
