19 is selected so that for example it corresponds to at least twice the width 18 of a laying element 14 in the direction of rotation 15 the forwardly displaced point of intersection 17 may of course be further forwardly displaced by the insertion of guide element 22 in the direction of rotation 15 by the spacing between the two laying elements 14 being increased beyond the minimum pitch 19 as a result the distance from the intersection point 17 to the surface of the rotor 7 is also by necessity reduced fig4 shows an arrangement of the laying elements 14 and the associated warp threads 1 4 1 39 4 39 etc for a warp thread repeat of 4 threads with this arrangement the laying elements 14 can be disposed extremely compactly in direction of rotation 15 so that two warp threads adjacent in the fabric 20 have a forwardly displaced intersection point 17 with a minimum pitch 19 fig5 shows an arrangement of the laying elements 14 and the associated warp threads 1 6 1 39 6 39 etc for a warp thread repeat of 6 threads with this arrangement the laying elements 14 can be disposed next to one another in an extremely compact and space saving manner in the direction of rotation 15 so that two warp threads adjacent in the fabric 20 lie on laying elements having a spacing of at least one minimum pitch 19 and because of this the warp threads have a forwardly displaced intersection point 17 of course forwardly displaced intersection points 17 may also be achieved in that the laying elements 14 have the same appropriate spacing in the direction of rotation fig3 to fig5 show advantageous arrangements of laying elements 14 and warp threads which enable with forwardly displaced.
