Abstract
A long photographic strip is transported along a predetermined path and comprises a succession of customer orders joined end-to-end. At a cutting station along the path, successive leading ends of the transported strip are severed from the remainder, to successively form severed strip sections. A collector receives the successively formed severed strip sections in succession and forms an accumulating stack of such sections. The successively received strip sections are held in position in the accumulating stack at the collector individually. Upon accumulation of all the strip sections constituting a customer order, the holding action exerted upon the individually held strip sections is relieved, and the strip sections are removed from the collector as a single stack, either manually or by mechanical means.
