Abstract
An apparatus for registering a signature moving along a surface, such as a drum, includes one or more pinch rollers for advancing the signature, and a register stop for stopping the advancement of the signature. The register stop is rotatable about an axis so as to accommodate skewing of the signature. The pinch rollers do not rotate with the register stop, but remained aligned with the drum.
