ABSTRACT:
An improved continuous feed book turning apparatus and method for receiving improved book blocks of gathered signatures and for transferring the book blocks into book block clamps ready for edge milling and gluing. The invention takes advantage of efficiency benefits derived from improved signatures as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,655,866. The improved signatures gathered into book blocks are moved continuously into the apparatus in an upstanding orientation with each longer binding edge upright to substantially increase feed rate. However, the book turning apparatus must rotate each such improved book block through about 90.degree. to present a downwardly facing binding edge for clamping, edge milling, and gluing.
