Abstract: A paper support bar for replacing the "star wheels" in a sheet-fed, offset printing press, or the like, having a chain delivery system. The bars are formed from hollow cylinders of a resiliently rigid, non-brittle material having adjustable supports on the ends for releasably connecting the bar to the chains of the press and for centering and horizontally supporting them. In the preferred embodiment, the plastic material is a plastic capable of resisting heat generated by infra red or thermal drying devices sometimes used on the delivery end of a press such as polypropylene or a high density polyethylene and contains an electrically conductive carbon black, antistatic agent, or other triboelectric charge directing agent.
