ribbon 30 without adhesive the ribbon may be fed from a cone and secured by warp threads simultaneously as any other warp threads are disposed onto the wire or in the embodiment which weaves the ribbon 30 through the generally parallel limbs the ribbon 30 may be weaved through the wire weft prior to threading the warp threads in the embodiment using tape 50 a strip of fiberglass tape may be attached over each group of warp threads or over selective groups of warp threads immediately after threading i e knitting sewing or otherwise securing the threads and before the carrier goes onto the take up pinch rollers may be used to increase adhesion the material may then be sent to a rewind station as it could be produced defect free alternatively the material could be shipped directly from a knitter which would eliminate blocking totally to save space and tape the tape may be installed at the blocker instead of at the knitter the material would go to blocking for tape installation thus it is apparent that there has been provided in accordance with the invention a wire carrier and a method for making a wire carrier that fully satisfies.
