other suitable means orifice plate 34 is comprised of a linear array of orifices of uniform size all of which are directed towards the path of the moving textile web in the absence of any intersecting streams of a control fluid the dye is directed from primary dye manifold 20 to secondary dye manifold 30 via channel 28 whereupon it is formed into a linear army of uniformly spaced and precisely formed dye streams or jets that are directed onto the surface of the moving textile web 40 0020 fig2 also shows in cross section an array of individual control tubes 60 that are securely attached to control tube module 50 and are positioned generally perpendicular to the trajectory of the dye streams emanating from orifice plate 34 each dye orifice has associated with it a control tube 50 which is precisely aligned with the dye stream from the respective orifice through use of the control tube modules and the alignment system disclosed herein in operation each individual stream emerging from the orifice plate 34 passes in close proximity to the open end of a corresponding control tube 60 through which a stream or burst of pressurized control fluid such as air can be intermittently passed in accordance with electronically encoded patterning information the electronically encoded patterning instructions are appropriately sequenced to compensate for the relative positions of the various gun bars along the path of the substrate and directed to the appropriate individual electrically actuated fluid valve associated with each.
