Abstract
The present invention encompasses a system for at least partially drying or curing wet glass strand as it is being wound into a package wherein streams of heated gas, such as air, are directed into contact with the outer layer of strand being collected on a rotating collet. Preferably, the streams of gas have a specific orientation with respect to the layers of strand and are supplied at predetermined temperatures and velocities to maximize the drying effect.
