Abstract
A transport apparatus transports forms of a serial, continuous supply having transverse perforation lines separating successive said forms. The apparatus positions the top edge of the serial form supply at an initial alignment position and employs an encoder which counts incremental movement of a motor which drives a form engaging apparatus to advance the serial form supply to position each succesive form at the alignment position. A card insert mechanism inserts one or more cards into a corresponding form, when positioned at the initial alignment position. Burster and slitter mechanisms provide for separation of the forms into individual forms during subsequent transport of the forms with respective cards inserted therein, from the card inserter mechanism.
