Abstract
A method for making a roll for a rotary printing press includes cutting a strip of a material so as to form a first web with a plurality of first tabs disposed one after the other and extending from the first web. The plurality of first tabs is bent relative to the first web so as to form a strut strip having the tabs extending from the web at an angle relative to the web. The strut strip is wrapped about a cylindrical form so as to form a cylindrical tube with the plurality of first tabs extending from the tube.

- cutting a first strip of a first material so as to form a first web with a plurality of first tabs disposed one after the other and extending from the first web;
- bending the plurality of first tabs relative to the first web so as to form a first strut strip having the first tabs extending from the first web at an angle relative to a surface of the first web;
- wrapping the first strut strip about a cylindrical form, the strut strip following a helical path about the cylindrical form;
- and
- wrapping a second strip of a second material about projecting ends of the plurality of first tabs so as to form a cylindrical outer wall.
