This section is all about moving the web left and right relative to the machine centerline.

Guiding is moving the web to the correct lateral position.

Spreading is moving the left side of the web to the left and the right side to the right.

Wrinkling is sometimes anti-spreading, moving both edges to towards the centerline, but it can also be more complicated than that.
