Abstract: Apparatus and process are described for impregnating a fibrous substrate with a thermosettable resin. The process involves the use of resin application means comprising a moving surface on which is positioned a liquid-form thermosettable resin in essentially uncured state, passing a fibrous web in countercurrent contact with the thermosettable resin so as to transfer the thermosettable resin into the fibrous web, and passing the resin-containing fibrous web to a heating zone to partially cure the resin and form a prepreg. The process is particularly suited for application of a solventless resin formulation to a glass web in the preparation of a prepreg for an electrical laminate.

Abstract: To enable the printing cylinder of a rotary press, which carries printing plates, to move to and from operative proximity to an impression cylinder rotatable on a fixed axis, the respective printing cylinder bearings are eccentrically mounted on large diameter disc-like bearing carriers, each rotatable in a hole in a rigid side frame member, said holes being coaxial. Each of the bearings for an anilox cylinder that transfers ink to the printing cylinder is similarly eccentrically mounted on a small diameter circular bearing carrier rotatable in an eccentric hole in a large diameter bearing carrier. Each bearing carrier has a frustoconical edge surface tapering in one axial direction, and the hole in which it rotates has a matingly tapered edge surface to define a limit of its axial motion in said direction, at which it is confined.
