curl in the predetermined direction of curl curl in a radially inward direction relative to the respective squeeze roller 8 for example in the event that the knit fabric web 1 has a directional curl bias such that the edges of the web tend to curl in the direction toward its right hand facing surface the knit fabric web 1 is preferably traveled in trained relation about the squeeze roller 8 immediately following its passage through the nip 10 so that the web edges curl in a radially inward direction relative to the squeeze roller 8 during trained travel of the knit fabric web 1 thereover since it is desirable that the knit fabric web 1 be trained around both the squeeze roller 8 and the take up roll 14 in a manner in which its edges tend to curl in a radially inward direction with respect to the squeeze roller and the take up roll the number of intermediate support rollers positioned between the squeeze roller 8 and the take up roll 14 must be an odd number such as 3 or 5 the odd number arrangement of the intermediate support rollers 14 insures that the knit fabric web 1 travels in an s shaped meandering travel path between the squeeze roller 8 and the take up roll 14 following its travel over the squeeze roller 8 the knit fabric web 1 immediately travels in trained relation around the first intermediate support roller 11 since the knit fabric web 1 still retains some moisture even after its passage through the nip 10 factors such as the increased weight of the knit fabric web 1 would cause undesired sagging and stretching of the knit fabric web if the knit fabric web were not adequately supported during its passage.
