Abstract
In the description and drawings methods and apparatus for the compression and winding of a plurality of overlapped fibrous blankets are disclosed. The methods and apparatus may allow a leading edge of a trailing blanket to be overlapped with a trailing edge of a leading blanket that is being wound by a compressing winder assembly. As the compressing winder assembly winds the leading blanket, the trailing blanket may be moved downstream by the leading blanket and an overlapped portion of the two blankets may move through a compression zone of a winder feed chute.
