Abstract
A live storage buffer for receiving newspapers from a printing press which includes an endless conveyor having carriers adapted to travel about the pathway of the conveyor and to removably support newspaper container members thereon. A pair of spaced transfer conveyors operatively associated with the endless conveyor are adapted to sequentially receive and then return the containers to the endless conveyor. On one transfer conveyor the containers are positioned by an indexing member at a location for receiving a supply of newspapers, and on the other transfer conveyor the containers are indexed to a position where the newspapers are unloaded for further processing downstream of the storage buffer.
