A leader strip is separated from the edge of the paper web in the dryer section and the leader strip is directed between a pair of ropes included in the rope threading arrangement. The leader strip is carried to the finishing device on support of the ropes. To effect the transfer of the leader strip from the drying wire to the rope, at the inlet side of the last drying cylinder in the dryer section, a rope gap is formed out of the ropes and the leader strip, which is supported by the drying wire thereat, is transferred by an air blowing into the rope gap. The leader strip is passed by the ropes over the last drying cylinder to the finishing device.
