the web in the dryer group ra n in the dryer section the drying wire is denoted by reference numeral 50a the wire guide rolls are denoted by reference numeral 51a the drying cylinders are denoted by reference numeral 52a and the vac rolls in the lower row with the reference numeral 53a the paper web to be dried runs in the single wire draw from the drying cylinders 52a onto the reversing rolls 53a while constantly supported by the drying wire 50a after this the run of the web onward is similar to the arrangement shown in fig1 a in the embodiment shown in fig2 a a quality measurement device 29a is arranged between the calender 20a and the reel up 30a in the schematic illustration of the embodiment shown in fig2 b the finishing section in the paper machine has been made shorter in accordance with the invention in which connection the draw 26 from the dryer section to the soft calender 20 has been made slightly shorter and the draw from the soft calender 20 to the reel up 30 has been eliminated completely as the reel spool storage space 33 in the reel up 30 is placed above the soft calender 20 whereby considerable economies of space are achieved the dryer group r n is a dryer group with single wire draw in which the paper web runs on the support of the drying wire 50 from the drying cylinders 52.
