Abstract
The apparatus includes a table on which the documents, received from a conveyor, are stacked on edge. The table is formed with one or more elongated slots extending perpendicularly to the stack of documents, and a rotating disc is mounted beneath each slot for rotation in the general plane of the slot. Each rotating disc has secured thereto one or more flexible narrow strips to extend tangentially therefrom. Responsive to control signals, a disc is rotated so that a flexible narrow strip thereon is inserted through the associated slot to extend between two successive documents of the stack, and the strip can be withdrawn by further rotation of the disc.
