- continuously moving in a first direction a surface element,
- continuously providing a material having a first axis in a first angular orientation to the first direction of movement,
- cutting a strip from the material,
- sequentially rotating the strip of material so that the first axis of the strip is in a second angular orientation to the first direction of movement,
- positioning the strip of material generally parallel to and spaced-apart from the surface element, and then, while maintaining the strip and the surface element generally parallel, moving the strip of material into generally flat contact with the surface element.
- 2. The process of claim 1 further comprising the step of maintaining the strip flat with the surface element for a predetermined length of travel.
- 3. The process of claim 1 wherein the step of moving the strip includes moving additional strips in a spaced-apart manner relative to each other onto the surface element.
- 4. The process of claim 3 wherein the step of providing includes providing continuously a plurality of materials, and wherein the step of moving the strips further includes moving the strips onto opposite sides of a plurality of surface elements.
