Abstract: In a paper machine headbox a profile bar (15) is mounted on a top slice lip (12). The profile bar is locally displaceable in the vertical direction by means of a plurality of adjusting assemblies (16) distributed along the top slice lip. Each adjustment assembly comprises an electrical level sensor (21) in the form of a differential transformer, the core (23) of which is affixed to the profile bar, while the coil (22) of the differential transformer is affixed to the top slice lip. The differential transformer is electrically connected to an indicator (24).

Abstract: A high-elasticity dewatering felt for use in e.g. papermaking and cellulose machines wherein the elastic properties of the felt are obtained by admixture thereinto of high-molecular thermoplastic elastomer materials, alternatively high-molecular cross-linked urethane-based elastomer materials, which elastomer materials are capable of stretching to at least twice their original length and subsequently, after relief of the load thereon, rapidly return to substantially their original length.
