draw
1. The displacement of the cut sheets by the
thickness of the guillotine cutting knife. Draw is
a common cause of imperfectly cut paper. 2. The
dragging action of the knife of a cutting machine,
which tends to draw a book or pile of sheets out
from under the clamp when cutting papers are
heavily coated with clay. 3. The tension applied
to paper between the sections of a papermaking
machine, such as the press or drier sections. (17 , 145 )
