Abstract
The invention comprises: a magazine containing a continuous ticket stock web delimited by weakened lines; a station for applying magnetic inscriptions on a ticket; means for printing on a ticket; an issuing station; and an endless belt wound over rollers, one of which rollers is the driver, to carry a ticket from the magazine as far as the issuing station. The endless belt is provided in the vicinity of the magnetic station and extends as far as a pair of intake rollers, remaining in contact with the end portion of the continuous ticket stock web, the magnetic inscription being effected before the separation of the ticket in question in relation to the continuous stock. A cutting station is positioned between the inscription station and the printing means. This enables, on the one hand, a synchronization of the intake of the tickets with the magnetic inscription and, on the other hand, a simultaneous inscription on a given ticket not yet cut off, as well as printing on the preceding cut-off ticket.
