This is a simple, not very precise, but mostly adequate method of equalizing (Fig. 39). Several intermediate products are fed in together, for example several slivers into a drafting arrangement, and a single new product is produced. There is only a small probability that all thin places and, separately, all thick places will coincide. On the contrary, they will tend to be distributed and so to offset each other, admittedly largely at random. Only variations over short-to-medium lengths can be averaged out.
