Abstract
A predetermined output sequence of miscellaneous printed products is produced by supplying a compilation or gathering station (80) with at least one continuous flow of individual, miscellaneous printed product parts in a supply (81 to 86), the individual, miscellaneous printed product parts in the flow being arranged in a preliminary sequence determined by the predetermined output sequence and the arrangement of the compilation station. At the compilation station (80) the printed product parts are compiled and then optionally joined together. The preliminary sequence of the at least one continuous supply flow is produced by timed, controlled take-overs of individual printed product parts from specific storage units (50) in a row of storage units, which are served by a group of successively arranged driving pins (60).
