Abstract
An improved apparatus for gathering printed signatures for saddle stitching has a single frame having shafts that carry two complete mechanisms each of which includes signature supply box means and signature transfer means for feeding 1-up signatures to a conveyor chain. The apparatus can be produced by a relatively simple conversion of a commercially available 2-up machine.
