web run

Thank you Christiane. While I'm confident about "web" and "laize", I am not sure that I have understood what the source text is getting at, though it seems to be a description of a converting operation, probably a coater. But without illustrations (when will Proz have a facility for posting pics ?!), I'm not 100% sure about my suggested phrase (sens de déroulement de la laize).
Ho hum ....

Thanks Micheal, you are right, and as you can see, I did not present my proposition as certainty. But, I tried to help. And thats what I found. However, I knew that was just a track to follow.

Il faut se méfier du GDT : j'y ai souvent constaté des erreurs de ce genre.

Dans tous les cas, s'agissant de la fabrication de papier (plutôt que de l'imprimerie) le mot "web" se traduit ici par "laize" - le terme "bobine" ne convient pas à la surface continue de papier dans la màp ou la coucheuse.

Viviane : désolé si vous n'avez pas compris mes commentaires : pour résumé, je pesne que "orientation of web run" est une erreur - il s'agit peut-être de "direction of web run".

With respect, Christiane, we are talking about paper-making, not printing. The "web" here does not refer to a reel (bobine) but to the continuous "web" (laize) of paper on the machine (or coater). It is only a reel when it comes off the paper machine. Until then it is a "web" in EN and "laize" in FR.

Vous ne comprenez pas les explications ou la langue anglaise?

17:23 Feb 18, 2009 

je suis désolée, je ne comprends pas tout ce que vous me dites. En fait je n'ai besoin de connaitre que la traduction du terme "Web run" (pour ma compréhension personnelle) et malehureusement je n'ai pas plus de contexte si ce n'est que des légendes : "Tissue Combining Rewinder ; Unwind ; Web run ; Calender ; Slitting station ; Rewinder ; AC drives ; Controls ; Auxiliaries for combiner

According to the comments of Mr. Green, web (syn. reel) is exactly translated by bobine. Could it be possible that some run have a different angle? Go to http://www.granddictionnaire.com/btml/fra/r_motclef/index800...

The reference to "coating mist" implies that we are talking about a coater - on-line or off-line - and it is possibly referring to the angle of the web as it goes through the coater.
Does that fit the context ?

I was 25 years in the paper industry, and "orientation of the web run" is meaningless to me - the "web" (or a reel) can only "run" in the "machine direction" - it cannot be "orientated" in any other direction.
So I suspect your source text is corrupt.

Usual question : can we have more context ?!
Has your source text been translated into EN from another language ?
In paper manufacturing, the "web" is the width of the paper as it runs through the paper machine.
