Abstract
Piles of sheets printed with numbered banknotes are cut into bundles, and the bundles are stacked in magazines of a rotary-drum bundle collector to form packets in which the notes are sequentially numbered, these packets being wrapped and then arranged in a serial ordinator. The bundle collector has two drums, one of which is slowly rotated to receive the successive bundles while the other previously-loaded drum is rotated step-by-step for unloading the successive packets. The basic installation may treat only perfectly printed sheets, but can be adapted to treat sheets with marked spoiled notes, by including a bundle-deviation line in which the spoiled notes of deviated bundles are replaced and the bundles remade and reinserted in respective gaps in the delivery before the collector, or a replacement station for simply removing bundles including spoiled notes and replacing them with bundles of notes from a star series.
