Establishes the grain direction, which is always parallel with the travel of the paper over the wire.
The direction of a sheet or web of paper corresponding with the direction of the flow on the papermachine.
The direction from the wet end to the dry end of a paper machine or to a paper sheet parallel to its forward movement on a paper machine. Also referred to as grain direction or long direction.
The direction of paper parallel to its forward movement on the paper machine. The direction at right angles to this is called the cross direction.
The direction parallel to that of the processing equipment.

The direction of any material parallel to its forward movement on the press.
The long way of paper web during the paper making process, and the direction in which the cellulose fibres tend to lie due to motion of the paper making machine. The machine direction of the paper is a vital consideration in producing a well bound book.
