Content

 This is the precursor of the Fourdrinier machine of the Fourdrinier brothers, invented in 1799 by the Frenchman Nicolas Louis Robert. The mould has been replaced by a wire screen that could be passed around two rollers like a conveyor belt. The pulp was put on the screen and made into paper through this conveyor belt system. In this way sheets of paper were not made, but a continuous reel of paper. This was cut into sheets, which were then pressed and dried.
