Abstract
The side portions of a sheet are fed equally and in synchronism with its central portion so that when any side portion of a skewed sheet leads the central portion along the path of movement of the sheet said side portion will be held back until the central portion begins its feeding movement thereby eliminating skew in the sheet. The mechanism includes a drive shaft supporting a central drive roller secured thereon and idle rollers spaced to either side of the drive roller, and a driven shaft supporting a series of rollers secured thereto in opposition to the rollers on the drive shaft, the drive roller and its opposing roller being out of contact with one another but capable of contacting a sheet introduced therebetween, the idle rollers contacting their respective opposing rollers.
