Abstract: An embossed metal foil laminate is prepared by laminating a metal foil to a paper web, utilizing an extrusion coated resin interlayer therebetween, by passing the layered structure between a nip roll and an engraved chill roll. The metal foil quickly conducts heat energy from the molten resin layer to the chill roll, allowing the process to be run at a high speed. The engraved chill roll impresses a pattern into the metal foil during the lamination operation.

Abstract: Embossed, coated paper is prepared by a process in which a polymeric film is laminated to a paper web, utilizing an extrusion coated resin interlayer therebetween, and a pattern from an engraved chill roll is simultaneously embossed onto the exposed surface of the polymeric film.

Abstract: A warp sensing apparatus for measuring the displacement or warp in disk-shaped objects such as drum lids and the like. A drum lid or other disk-shaped object is centered on the apparatus and clamped at the axis of rotation of the disk-shaped object. After the disk-shaped object is clamped, a contact probe of a transducer is positioned on the surface of the disk-shaped object to measure bidirectional displacement of the contact probe perpendicular to the surface of the disk-shaped object caused by undulations in the surface of the disk-shaped object. A manual rotating wheel permits the disk-shaped object to be rotated. A meter readout on the transducer displays the magnitude and direction of the contact probe displacement caused by undulations in the disk-shaped object as the disk-shaped object is rotated.
