Abstract
A receptacle for supporting a stack of sheets which are to be fed into a reproduction machine has a support surface and two parallel margin guides which can be moved asymmetrically with respect to the support surface so that sheets of different widths can be placed in the receptacle with the center line of the stack always in alignment with the center line of the feed path through the machine. This is effected by a lug mounted on the receptacle at a position remote from the support surface for movement with the guides in the same direction as, and by the average distance which the guides move relative to the support surface.
