Description

Highly diluted with pure, fresh water, the pulp flows onto the Fourdrinier wire. Even to the initiated it seems almost a miracle that this thin dilution of one percent fibers and ninety-nine percent water poured out onto a moving wire can become paper. But it does, and before it has traveled five feet, paper is formed.
