added to both the eucalyptus hardwood and northern softwood kraft pulp slurries in the machine chest at a rate of about 4 pounds of dry chemical per ton of dry fiber the stock pulp fiber slurries were further diluted to approximately about 0 1 percent consistency prior to forming and deposited from a three layered headbox onto a fine forming fabric having a velocity of about 50 feet per minute to form a 17 u2033 wide tissue sheet the flow rates of the stock pulp fiber slurries into the flow spreader were adjusted to give a target sheet basis weight of about 12 7 gsm and a layer split of 35 eucalyptus hardwood kraft pulp fibers on both outer layers and 30 ll 19 northern softwood kraft pulp fibers in the center layer the stock pulp fiber slurries were drained on the forming fabric building a layered embryonic tissue sheet the embryonic tissue sheet was transferred to a second fabric a papermaking felt before being further dewatered with a vacuum box to a consistency of between about 15 to about 25 the embryonic tissue sheet was then transferred via a pressure roll to a steam heated yankee dryer operating at a temperature of about 220 u00b0 f at a steam pressure of about 17 psi the dried tissue sheet was then transferred to a reel traveling at a speed about 30 slower than the yankee dryer to provide a crepe ratio of about 1 3 1 thereby providing the layered tissue basesheet an aqueous creping composition was prepared containing about 0 317.
