ABSTRACT:
An improved apparatus and method of converting power conveyors for improving the efficiency and usage factor of machines located along a line fed by such conveyors. In some systems such as assembling and forming signatures for binding into magazines, all the machines along the line are not required for all the jobs. Efficiency and equipment utilization is improved by transforming the existing power conveyer into two power conveyers, going in opposite directions and simultaneously feeding a portion of the machines for each of two jobs not requiring all the machines on the line.
