Abstract
The folding blade spindle of a folding drum is rotatably driven by a single drive train that utilizes only one gear drive pair. The folding drum itself is rotated by a separate drive assembly. The use of only one gear drive pair for the folding blade spindle drive substantially reduces play in the folding blade and promotes accurate folding of printed products.
