This anthology of 47 papers from various TAPPI publications and conferences reviews over 30 years of winding applications, theory, and measurement. It contains an excellent list of non-TAPPI publications and articles on winding, as well as a more in-depth bibliography for further research.

From the Introduction: “...There had been a few scholarly studies that could be found in learned journals, but little prior information of any practical significance showed up in our literature search during the compilation of this anthology. In recent years the depth of knowledge on winding has been expanding rapidly, as borne out by the fact that half of the papers in this collection were published after 1990. Winding is now welcomed as the subject for post graduate research in a number of universities around the world, and is a major topic in international conferences...”

Target Audience: This is a must-have reference for every plant manager, process or mechanical engineer, quality specialist, production superviser, and machine operator who is responsible for the production of wound rolls.
