WHQuiz Answer #11 - Intermediate Guiding

Published: March 14, 2012, By Timothy J. Walker

WebHandlersQuiz 11: Guiding - For automatic guiding in the middle of a process, which is preferred – A steering type guide or a displacement type guide? 

A displacement guide is always preferred unless you need to guide a long span. A displacement guide is more compact and has a far lower chance to cause problems through poor setup, poor traction, of wrinkle sensitive webs.
