Abstract

The air cushion support device (2) for adjusting the position of a web (22) in the drier of a web-fed rotary printing machine has an air flow adjuster (6), e.g. a plate with air slots (8, 10). This can be moved to adjust the air flow through passages (16, 18) on either side of the device.
