material through the gap opening 10 in fig4 i the carriers braid 8 end flat braid 26 with the material in the front of the braid the braid 26 can be as long as desired in fig4 j the bifurcation gates 17 18 are activated and the carriers braid two 4 end flat braids 21 22 creating gap opening 11 typically 1 to 2 picks but can be as long as desired in fig4 k the two 4 end flat braiding 21 22 has completed with both sets of bifurcation gates 17 18 activated the material 15 is passed from the front to the back moving the material through the gap opening 11 in fig4 l the carriers braid 8 end flat braid 27 with the material in the back of the braid the braid 27 can be as long as desired in fig4 m the bifurcation gates 17 18 are activated and the carriers braid two 4 end flat braids 23 24 creating gap opening 12 typically 1 to 2 picks but can be as long as desired in fig4 n the two 4 end flat braiding 23 24 has completed with both sets of bifurcation gates 17 18 activated the material 15 is passed from the front to the back moving the material through the gap opening 12 in fig4 o the carriers braid 8 end flat braid 28 with the material 15 in the front of the braid the braid 28 can be as long as desired in fig4 p the 8 end flat braid 28 has been completed and the material 15 is passed into the center of the carriers this corresponds to transition point 7 in fig4 q the carriers braid around the material 15.
