Abstract
An inserting machine having an improved hold-down member which provides for reduced friction between the hold-down member and the inserts as the inserts pass beneath the hold-down member. An endless belt moves with the lugs in order to transport the inserts along the insert track while friction between the bottom-most insert in a stack and the insert track. The possibility of thin or flimsy inserts jamming the insert track or being erroneously moved to another insert pile is greatly reduced.
