Abstract
An apparatus in which a sheet is registered during the movement thereof. The sheet is moved along a path in a forward direction of movement and a lateral force is applied thereto. The lateral force causes the sheet edge to engage a moving registration edge at which time the lateral motion is discontinued and the sheet continues along its path with virtualy no loss of velocity. As a result of the movement of the registration guide the relative velocity between the sheet and the guide is zero thereby substantially eliminating wear to the guide.
