Abstract

The distribution of thick regions along a filament yarn can have a random character if the thick regions of a filament from a first stretching zone are heated in a second stretching zone and thereby permitted to stretch and reduce in thickness. The heating in the second zone is out of phase with the thick regions of the first stretching zone.
