Abstract
The apparatus includes a reciprocative side edge jogger for aligning the side edges of multiple sheet stacks in a column through movement with respect to the sheet side edges along a rectilinear path perpendicular thereto. The apparatus additionally includes a movable end edge jogger. The sheets are aligned against side and end edge backstops, which respectively oppose the side and end edge joggers. In one preferred embodiment, the side and end edge joggers are driven by a single motor. In a second preferred embodiment, the side and end edge joggers are driven by separate motors.
