spreading carriage
the cloth is unwound and spread semi-automatically, using a manually driven carriage.
the carriage is moved back and forth over the laying-up table.
built-in mechanisms take care of aligning the fabric edges and smoothing the plies.
this system is favoured when the lays are long and broad and/or if the fabric is presented in large batches for relatively large orders. the method is very efficient and is suitable for small businesses.
