The idea that the fourdrinier is after all the cylinder having infinite radius, has brought about the application of the fourdrinier paper making to the cylinder machine as reported in this paper. The device is so made that the flow of well stirred stock is directly let out to the rotating cylinder without use of vat. The new method has the following characteristies.
1) Vat is no longer required
2) Packing in between vat and cylinder not necessary.
3) Prevents loss of power which is due to friction.
4) Increase durability of felt.
5) Saves space when several cylinders are installed.
However, as to what types of paper can be profited by this method and how fast the machine can be run are the problems to be studied in future.
