Definition:  A grouping of a number of gear-driven, cylindrical metal drums in series that are steam-heated to dry wet paper passed over it. The dry end of a paper machine may contain several of these sections.
Definition source:  EN 13
Context:  All steam cylinders within a group are driven at the same speed through gears or by directly controlled electric drives. One modem system involves driving some of the felt taming rolls and using the felts as belts to turn the cylinders. Small speed differences (~ 0.2%) are maintained between the press section and the first dryer section and between successive dryer sections so that the web is certain to be in MD tension throughout.
