- thinning of the edge of the sheet by pulp
- creeping under the edge of the deckle

- supports the wet sheet of paper during the stages of removal of water.
-
Forming
- the action of making a sheet of paper by dipping

- into a vat
- of pulp,
- the water drains through the cover leaving the pulp on the surface
-
Fourdrinier
