Abstract
Method and apparatus for creating a gap in a stream of sheets, and also moving the sheets at a uniform rate onto a take-off conveyor. The function is accomplished by diverting a portion of a conveyor to have it move through a longer path than the original path, and thereby have the portion move faster in order to create the gap.
