from strands and/or narrow tapes without first assembling them to form a fabric.
(1) Note. A strand is any workpiece of great length relative to its cross section and of generally equal cross section height and width. For the purpose of this subclass, a narrow tape is any workpiece of great length and with a width greater than its thickness, said width being such that several widths in side-by-side relationship are required to cover the total surface area being formed.
