Abstract
An apparatus includes pincers, or suckers, that tension each marker at an angle to the stack of sheets from which it emerges, and a separator mechanism; the separator incorporates a follower with a tapered leading edge that is offered to the taut marker, and a support, to which the follower is hinged, that can be moved from a retracted position to an extended position in which the follower penetrates the stack of sheets, sliding in between the marker and the ream sitting on and separated by the marker.
