view of a preferred embodiment of the former former 10 includes a cylinder mould 12 which is coupled with a drainage outlet 14 which includes a fan pump unseen which sends the stock to the former and receives the entrained liquid from the cylinder mould 12 the general generic operation of the former 10 is along the lines of those previously discussed a paper stock inlet 16 is provided and may comprise a series of shear hoses in the cross machine direction which feeds paper stock 20 from a distributor unseen the paper stock 20 fed through shear hoses 17 is subject to an explosion chamber 18 the former 10 further comprises a baffle 24 and a seal 26 to prevent the water drained through mould 12 from entering the forming zone 32 when paper stock 20 encounters baffle 24 and seal 26 the water 28 is separated from paper stock 20 to form a fiber suspension 30 fiber suspension 30 is then passed to a forming zone 32 fig2 which further comprises an adjustable contoured section lip 34 adjacent to the cylinder mould surface 12 adjustable contoured section lip 34 has one hinged side 36 to allow for adjustment of distances from the cylinder mould 12 and the other side an adjustable sliding mechanism 38 for rush drag adjustment producing a paper web with md cd ratio control similar to a fourdrinier paper machine in this regard the sliding mechanism 38 allows the contour section lip 34 to be adjusted in an angular basis from the pivot point 36 by doing this operation the contour section lip 34 will be adjusted at various distances from the cylinder mould 12 because of the radial distances from the hinge point 36 and the seal mechanism 38 as well as the angular.
