Abstract
A variable length cutting device includes a cutting cylinder and a transfer cylinder. The transfer cylinder cooperates with the cutting cylinder for cutting a ribbon into signatures having a desired cutoff length. An adjustable diameter portion of the transfer cylinder can be moved in a direction toward and away from the central axis of the transfer cylinder for adjusting the desired cutoff length of the signatures.
