Abstract
A bookbinding machine includes an advancing track of chain, a plurality of book clamps driveable by said chain successively to one or more processing stations, and means for arresting the movement of a selected one or a plurality of the clamps at one or more of said stations, such as a cover applying and nipping station, while the other clamps remain in motion driven by the chain. The arresting means comprises sprockets for causing a stud on the drive chain to be disengaged from a bracket bolted to the book clamp, to perform an excursion, and to reengage the bracket.
