carrying substrate, said adhesive mask substrate, and the selected
substrate are advanced together in a feeding direction through a
pressure applying assembly to affect adhesive bonding between said
selected substrate and said supply substrates and (b) said pressure
applying assembly applies pressure to said carrying substrate and said
mask
substrate with said selected substrate inserted therebetween to cause
the adhesive on the adhesive carrying side of said adhesive carrying
substrate to adhesively bond to one side of the selected substrate and to
any portions of the bonding side of said mask substrate which extend
adjacent the periphery of the selected substrate and are engaged
directly with said adhesive layer, and (c) said take-up roll rotates to wind
up a discharged portion of said mask substrate to which said pressure
has been applied along with any portions of said adhesive layer bonded

and being substantially removed from the adhesive carrying side of said
