Facsimile system

A continuous sheet collating system is disclosed for printed texts wherein a continuous web of printed sheet-like material is continuously fed to a continuously, uninterrupted, collating drum. The web is wrapped upon the rotating drum a number of times equal to the number of printed sheets (less one) desired in a (text) collated stack of printed sheets. The wrapped web is then severed at the desired wrap number to provide collated individual sheets of the printed text in their proper sequential order. These sheets are then discharged from the collating drum as a unitized mass of collated printed sheets in textual context.
