distributing web 50 onto moving article surface material 71 guide rollers 65 and 72 assist in the stability and guidance of the entire carriage assembly the rotation of rolls 49 and 47 is obtained through a ratchet gear arrangement as shown by pinion gear 48 positioned in rack 54 as carriage 43 is moved in direction a gear 48 turns roller 49 clockwise which in turn rotates cylinder 47 counterclockwise to deposit the material web 50 downwardly onto surface material 71 alternatively when carriage 43 is moved in direction b the ratchet means between gear 48 and roller 49 disengages the gear rack rotation activation and frees roll 49 for rotation while an equivalent gear ratchet assembly on the other side of roll 47 takes over rotational operation to rotate roll 47 counter clockwise to in turn rotate roll 49 in a clockwise fashion accordingly no matter which way the carriage is moving through such an arrangement the rolls are maintained in a constant rotational direction to consistently layer the distributed tow onto the moving article surface material additionally differing layer patterns capable of controlling the amount of distributed tow deposited onto the surface material 71 may be obtained by simply altering the size of gear 48 which in turn alters the amount of rotation of cylindrical rolls 49 and 47 as a function of distance through which it is drawn in either direction a or b by piston arm 62 the process continues as shown in fig3 in which bolt 57 dispensing the bottom layer of surface material 71 moves in a position substantially normal to the distributed web 50 being deposited by the rolls of the third pair such as roll 47 as is shown vacuum surface 55 and suction holes.
