Apparatus for drying a running paper web and floatingly suspending it without contact during the drying process, including air bars which are spaced apart from one another along each side of the web and are fed with pressurized air for a supply duct. The air bars have an air supply opening, and the supply ducts have an air feed neck adapted to be inserted in said air bar supply openings for directing pressurized air thereto, O-ring type seals are located between the bar openings and the duct feed necks to permit relative sealing movement between the bars and supply duct an angular adjustment between said air bar and the duct permits tilting of the bars longitudinally relative to the web to vary the angle of the air discharge against the web.
