Abstract
A process for the formation of a scale-like stream of folded printed copies wherein the printed copies are delivered directly to claws from a folding jaw cylinder and are transported onward while being held by the claws. An apparatus for the formation of a scale-like stream of folded printed copies possesses a traction device--for example a toothed belt--by means of which the printed copies are transported onward from a folding jaw cylinder. The traction device is provided with claws for accepting and holding the printed copies in a grasping manner during transportation.
