Abstract
A coating of liquid starch is applied to a travelling paper web by an application comprising an elongate hollow box structure having a horizontal slot outlet along one side. Starch solution is forced from the chamber horizontally through the slot outlet then flows downwardly under gravity across an upright wall surface to establish a falling curtain of the starch solution. The wall surface terminates at a bottom blade edge and the curtain falls away from the surface at the blade edge to drop onto the paper web.
