Abstract
A continuous sheet of paper fibers is fed to a rotatable drum, moved around the rotatable drum by the rotatable drum, and is fed from the rotatable drum at an area circumferentially spaced from the paper fiber feed-in area. The sheet is supported on the drum by a high percentage open area sheet support. The sheet support has channels for conducting hot gas from the inside of the drum against the inside surface of the sheet. The support also has means for conducting the hot gas along the inside surface of the sheet.
