A jigger [...] is composed of a trapezoidal tub containing the bath and two rolls on which the fabric is alternatively wound. In this type of machine the bath is stationary while the fabric is in motion. The fabric, initially wound on the first roll, flows through the bath and then is wound on the other one; the rotation is then reversed and the cycle continues. The fabric is led in its path by a few small guide rollers.

Un jigger [...] se compose d'une cuve trapézoïdale contenant le bain, et de deux cylindres autour desquels l'étoffe s’enroule par alternance. Dans ce type de machine, le bain reste immobile, l'étoffe étant en mouvement. Celle-ci, initialement enroulée autour du premier cylindre, passe à travers le bain pour être ensuite enroulée autour de l'autre cylindre, après quoi le sens de rotation est inversé et le cycle se poursuit. L’enroulement de l’étoffe est guidé par plusieurs roulettes.

A unidirectional(UD) fabric is one in which the majority of fibres run in one direction only... the unidirectional designation only applies to those fabrics with more than 90% of the fibre weight in one direction. Unidirectionals usually have their primary fibres in the 0° direction(along the roll-a warp UD) but can also have them at 90° to the roll length(a weft UD)... True unidirectional fabrics offer the ability to place fibre in the component exactly where it is required... As well as this, UD fibres are straight and uncrimped.

StratSat provides a geo-stationary platform at 20 km altitude capable of remaining on-station for up to five years. Payloads include high speed Internet services, direct broadcast TV, mobile telecommunication, etc. The envelope operates as a super-pressure hull(i. e. with no ballonet pressure control system). The hull will be of laminated fabric construction with Tedlar/Teflon, helium/weather barrier developed from AT-10/04. Multiple catenary curtain system supporting a payload module enclosed completely by the envelope. [The] payload module... comprises a single structural module with an externally mounted payload/mission system. The payload module provides a home for all of the airship's primary systems except for the propulsion system. The systems are close packed within the highly insulated module ensuring efficient heat and energy management. The payload module is pendulum stabilised within the envelope. The solar array provides the sole source of renewable energy for the airship. The array is placed over the upper quarter of the hull and extends over approximately three-quarters of the length of the craft. The array can be realigned to the daily sun location/angle by the roll rotation of the whole airship. The energy collected by the solar array is stored for use during the night in the series of batteries. Located in the stored for use during the night in a series of batteries. Located in the payload module, the batteries run the propulsion system, airship services and provide power to the mission system for up to 14 hours(during winter). The airship is propelled and steered by means of a ’Contra-Rotating Coned Rotor’ mounted on a tailcone at the rear of the envelope, as a part of a compound propulsion system. The unit provides longitudinal thrust(to counter the prevailing stratospheric winds) and lateral force(for manoeuvering) to enable the airship to hold station within a 1 km cube. The airship will be equipped with a multi-channel Flight Control Sy

The fabric press is another development of transverse press which is used more in Europe than in North America.... A multiple-weave, non-compressible fabric belt passes through the nip between the felt and the rubber-covered roll to provide void volume to receive the expressed water. Water is removed from the fabric by passing it over a suction box on the return run. The shrink-sleeve press is a simplified modification of the fabric press, utilizing only a non-compressible fabric jacket or sleeve which is shrunk over the press roll to provide void volume.
