Abstract
An apparatus piles a continuous stream of booklets in a stack, with a succeeding booklet in the stream being piled atop a preceding booklet. When the stack attains a predetermined size, the stack is ejected from the apparatus without stopping delivery to the apparatus of the continuous stream of booklets which are accumulated in a temporary holding stack, during ejection of the other stack. The temporary holding stack is depleted at a rate faster than it formed, following the ejection of the other stack.
