break an alternative arrangement is shown in fig8 and 9 in which both vacuum rolls at the section transfer are pivotable a transfer from a lower felted dryer section 86 to an upper felted dryer section 88 is shown in fig8 the web 90 travels over a first dryer roll 92 backed by the lower felt 94 and then passes over a lower felt vacuum roll 96 the lower felt 94 is turned by the vacuum roll 96 to pass over the lower felt roll 98 the lower felt vacuum roll 96 is supported on pivot arms 98 and is driven to pivot upstream or downstream by air rides 100 the web passes from the lower felt to an upper felt 102 which moves from an upper felt roll 104 over an upper felt vacuum roll 106 which is pivotably mounted on pivot arms 108 to pivot toward and away from the lower felt vacuum roll 96 at least one set of air rides 110 are connected to the upper felt vacuum roll pivot arms to pivot the vacuum roll 106 the web 90 is backed by the upper felt 102 the two vacuum rolls 96 106 may be pivoted together to form a sandwich of the two felts 94 102 and the web 90 or pivoted apart to open up the sandwich a transfer from an upper felted dryer section 88 to a lower felted dryer section 88 is shown in.
