Abstract
Two overlapping members subject to relative displacement and separated by a gap for spreading a pressurized fluid as a film over the overlapped member are provided with a metering device for providing an essentially constant fluid flow area irrespective of the size of the gap resulting from differences in relative displacement of the members. The metering devices comprise a flexible seal connected to one of the members, the seal being of such a length that it engages in sealing contact the other member under the influence of the pressurized fluid. Orifices of a predetermined size and number formed within the seal provide a generally constant flow area for metering the fluid prior to passage through the gap.
