Guipage. L'opération de guipage consiste à recouvrir un fil auquel on a donné le nom d'«âme» par un fil ou filé de toute sorte, l'enrobant. Ce recouvrement peut être effectué de deux façons : - par une succession de couches de fil enroulées en spirales autour d'un fil d'âme; - par une succession de mailles formées par un fil ou un filé, empilées les unes sur les autres à l'intérieur desquelles se place le fil d'âme. [...] On peut différencier deux types de fils [...] : a) le fil en âme, b) la fibre en âme. 2, record 4, French, - %C3%A2me
