ABSTRACT:
Selected or successive cigarettes of a series of cigarettes which are conveyed in a making and/or processing machine are acted upon by ejecting, perforating and/or other cigarette influencing instrumentalities during travel along a selected section of their path. A pulse generating system transmits a series of timing pulses during each interval of advancement of a cigarette along a unit section of the path, and a selected timing pulse of the series of pulses is used to apply a control signal to the influencing instrumentality while the cigarette to be influenced is located in a predetermined position with respect to such instrumentality. An additional timing pulse of the same series is used to terminate the application of the control signal. The pulses which are used for application and/or termination of application of control signals can be changed in response to changing speed of the prime mover of the machine or machines. The selected and/or the additional pulses can be further utilized to effect the transport of control signals through a shift register which is interposed between the signal generating device (e.g., a testing device) and the influencing instrumentality.
