Abstract
A method and apparatus for manufacturing business forms from rolls of paper webs. The webs are divided into at least two groups. The webs of a first group are individually processed as by printing or the like and guided into superimposed relationship. A line of holes is punched simultaneously through all of the webs of the first group, and the webs of such first group are advanced as a unit through the processing operation by a pinned belt engaging such holes. The webs of the second group are individually processed separately from the first group as by printing or the like, and are guided into superimposed relationship beneath the superimposed webs of the first group. A line of holes is punched simultaneously through all of the webs of the second group with some of the holes being in center registration with the line of holes in the first group, and the webs of both groups are advanced as a unit by a pinned belt engaging the line of holes in the webs of both groups. Thereafter, all of the webs are simultaneously further processed as by cross-perforating and stacking. All of said processing operations occur while the webs are moving continuously from said rolls.
