ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and process is provided for more random distribution of a bundle of strands into a continuous strand mat. The apparatus has a feeder for reciprocating, traversing deposition of strands onto a conveyor, where the feeder is positioned above the conveyor that moves in a direction around 90.degree. from the direction of deposition of the strands across the conveyor. The feeder has a pulling means to pull the strands into the feeder and to deliver the strand to an accelerating means on the feeder which then increases the speed of the strands to contact a convex surface deflector attached to the feeder to dispose of the strands onto the moving conveyor. If the feeder traverses the conveyor on an axis above the conveyor the accelerating means and convex surface deflector are affixed to the feeder and move with the feeder. If the feeder is stationary but has a reciprocating traversing part, then the accelerating means and deflector move with the reciprocating traversing part.
