Abstract
Web support for constraining the entering portion of a moving web against change in its spatial lateral position while remaining free to change its angular lateral position. The web support includes a web engaging surface which presents substantially no lateral resistance to the entering position of the moving web, and opposed edge guides mounted in a predetermined position on a fixed frame adjacent to the web engaging surface. The edge guides have opposed web engaging portions a fixed distance apart which distance corresponds substantially to the width of the moving web.
