ABSTRACT:
A signature handling apparatus includes a plurality of saddles and a plurality of signature openers. Each signature opener is associated with a respective saddle. The signature openers move together with the saddles in a first direction along an endless path past a signature feeding mechanism with the saddles extending transversely to the first direction. Each signature opener opens one respective signature as the signature opener moves past the signature feeding mechanism to enable positioning of the one signature in an opened condition on the saddle associated with the signature opener.
