Content

 This Fourdrinier machine which could automatically produce a continuous length of paper, gradually ousted the traditional hand-made paper. In the Netherlands the first paper making machines appeared in the south of Limburg (from 1834), later also in the Zaanstreek (Zaan area) and the Veluwe. To the left of this picture are the paper vats from which the paper pulp is poured onto a sifting cloth of metal wires. This paper mass is subsequently processed by all kinds of pressing and drying rollers.
