  • This movement of the carriage 140 for engagement of the third roller 150 with the piece of linen 80 preferably takes place after the aforementioned positional adjustment of the piece of linen 80 by rotation of the rollers of one of the corner locators 19 has taken place, such that the corner portion C held in the first gap 97 of each corner locator 19 is very close to the corresponding geometric corner of the piece of linen 80.

Selecting this diameter 02 dimension has been found to ensure a highly desirable reduction to a smaller distance D2 of the distance between the transfer clamps 30, 30' and the gap in which the corner region C is held at takeover by the transfer clamps, reducing thereby i.a. the aforementioned “tail” hanging from the transfer clamp 30, 30’.
