ABSTRACT:
A cross-direction web dryer, for example, for a paper making machine, provides air bearing support for the moving web by use of an elongated structural member with dryer modules on one side of the paper and an elongated reflector unit on the opposite side. Each of these elongated members include solid barriers next to the moving web at least one of the barriers being transparent to the heat producing radiation and with both barriers having juxtaposed slits through which air is forced from a blower to provide the air bearing. These slits extend substantially the width of the support and are aligned in the machine direction of the moving web.
