1. The making machine combines tobacco and paper into a continuous 

 rod that is cut into individual cigarettes. 



2. The tipping machine receives the cigarettes and attaches the filter.

 series of tests such as density, weight, length, and circumference. 



4. Finished cigarettes are collected in trays that are automatically 

 fed to the packing machine. 



5. The packing machine puts the correct number of cigarettes into 

 eack pack and, after inspection, wraps them for delivery to other
