DEF

A paper machine using one large steam-heated drying cylinder for drying the sheet instead of many smaller ones. The wet sheet is pressed against the surface of the Yankee dryer and may be held in place by a dryer felt as the dryer revolves. It produces a glossy (Machine glazed) finish on the side of the sheet next to the dryer. The machine may have a cylinder or a fourdrinier wet end and may have any number of presses or auxiliary dryers of the usual type.
