Abstract
This invention relates to the creation of a different styled batt from tufts of fiber for delivery to textile machinery. In particular, the batt formed in the style of this invention is particularly suited for delivery to a carding machine. Carding machines are able to more fully utilize fiber processing capacity with lower risk of becoming overloaded because the tufts are less able to be pulled out of the batt intact but are held back allowing for the lickerin roll or other feed arrangement to pull fiber out of the batt in a more continuous and uniform manner.
