Abstract
A steam distributor to apply steam to a paper sheet moving beneath it. The distributor has a steam supply header. A chamber receives steam from the header. There are outlets in the chamber whereby steam is passed to the paper sheet. Pipes communicate the header with the chamber and there is an outlet for each pipe in the chamber and an inlet for each pipe to allow steam into the paper from the header. A valve member extends to an open end of the pipe and co-operates with the open end to control the flow of steam through the open end. The valve member can be moved towards and away from the open end of the pipe.
