Abstract
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for making fabric, especially radial fabric. The disclosure is particularly concerned with radial tire fabric. The method disclosed, for making a fabric or a ply for a fabric, comprises the steps of continuously laying a succession of discrete assemblies of filamentary material in side-by-side in-line disposition in conjunction with continuous means having a common relationship therewith and adapted to secure the assemblies together to form a continuous length of fabric or ply. In certain important embodiments, the assemblies are of parallel filaments, which filaments lie transversely of the finished fabric or ply but not necessarily at right angles.
