Abstract
The disclosure relates to a stacker tyer for stacking newspapers received in a shingled stream from a printing press. A single centrally located stacker mechanism is flanked by a pair of compensators and outside of the compensators is a pair of tyers. Stacks are built in the stacker and moved laterally first to a compensator and then to a tying mechanism. Outside the tying mechanism are located a pair of delivery mechanisms which deliver the tied stack for further processing. The stacker is able to form either short stacks (bundles) or tall stacks (logs). In the case of bundles, the bundles may be either compensated or uncompensated; compensated logs are not built.
