Abstract
This invention relates to a continuous cycle process for the assembly of an unlimited number of multiple distinct editions of magazines in a bindery line. The invention provides a process wherein signatures in a hopper can be changed to produce a different edition of a magazine without stopping the bindery line. The number of different editions which can be produced without stopping the bindery line is increased without lengthening the line.
