A web (46) comprised primarily of cellulose fibers is formed in a forming zone on a dewatering/transfer fabric (42) and is carried to a first drying means (64) thereon, whereupon the web is sandwiched between the dewatering/transfer fabric (42) and a carrier fabric (60). The web is carried around the first drying means between the dewatering/transfer fabric (42) and the carrier fabric (60), with air passing therethrough in order to partially predry the paper web. The web is then carried to a Yankee dryer (72) where it is dried and creped (86). The dewatering/transfer fabric is returned to the forming zone. <IMAGE> |
