<p>A process for the handling of a tow of fibres during manufacture and subsequent processing prior to splicing is described. The process includes the step of applying a clip to the free end of the tow, prior to transport of the tow. The fibre is preferably a carbon fibre precursor, and the clip is preferably removed and the tow spliced prior to the steps of oxidation and carbonisation to form the carbon fibre. <IMAGE></p> |
