Abstract

A machine that quadrates documents comprising a stationary plate having along one edge a plurality of transversely-spaced cutting edges defining a cutting area, a rotor having axially thereof and radially-spaced from its axis a plurality of complementary cutting edges supported for rotation with the rotor about an axis parallel to the edge of the stationary plate for movement of the cutting edges in shearing relation to the cutting edges on the stationary plate and sheet-feeding rolls for advancing the documents to be quadrated along the surface of the stationary plate onto the cutting area to present a portion thereof to the cutting edges in timed relation to movement of the cutting edges into cutting relation with each other.
