Folding Accuracy
To get accurate folds, towels must be fed
accurately into the Air Chicago. Each item must
be placed straight on the inlet ribbons.
Place the item on the inlet ribbons according
to whether a French or a half primary fold is
desired.
Figure 3-8: To get a correct French-style primary
fold, the towel must be properly
centered on the inlet ribbons.

Primary Fold Skis
For a proper French primary fold, the towel
must be centered on the inlet ribbons so that the
primary fold skis divide it evenly into thirds as
illustrated in Figure 3-8.
Half primary folds are obtained by feeding the
item on the left side of the Air Chicago. Position
the towel so that it is centered on the outside
edge of the left primary fold ski, as illustrated
in Figure 3-9.
