Abstract
Formable twistless woven precursor fabrics, especially in satin or basket weave, made from warp and weft flat tape of fiber reinforced thermoplastics on a power driven loom. The weft tape is supplied in a twistless manner from a rotatable package that is driven in synchronism with the feeding mechanism and a finite tension on the tape is maintained so that a line drawn parallel to the surface of and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of each of the warp and weft tapes is in the plane of the fabric throughout the fabric. The warp and weft tapes have edges that abut substantially throughout the fabric.
