impossible situation furthermore if that fabric were to be used as a substrate for a tape material or the like or any application in which the presence of the apertures is a disadvantage then the fabric disclosed therein would be of little or no use it has now been found however that the fabrics produced herein can be torn on relatively straight lines both across the fabric as well as along its length also due to the substantially uniform cover factor of this web it can be used as for example a substrate for an adhesive tape medical industrial or the like the invention can perhaps be further illustrated by way of the following example eight ends of 38 265 denier rayon silver of 3 denier per filament 1 2 34 long were fed into a fluid borne stream through eight jet nozzles at an air pressure of approximately 17 psig the stream passes into a curved distributor chamber and the stream of fibers is thrown onto a moving conveyor screen such as shown in fig3 wherein the resist areas 31 consists of 1 4 34 side tapes placed across the conveyor screen on 1 2 34 centers striping bars such as 32 were placed within the curved chamber with the bars oriented in the machine direction these striping bars were approximately 1 8 34 wide on 3 16 34 centers the fabric produced herein is highly drapeable weighs about 7 0 grams per square yard and has a rather uniformly covered surface while the tear strength in the machine direction is 156.
