Abstract: An improved paper support bar for use in a chain driven printing press having a bar (11) that may be permanently attached to the drive chains (17) of a printing press and a plurality of paper supporting fingers (13) snugly disposed thereon for supporting paper (32). Each finger (13) has a hole (27) disposed therethrough that conforms in configuration to the cross section of the bar (11). Each finger (13) also has a plurality of ridges (28) formed thereon to contact the bar (11) and further aid in snugly holding the finger (13) on the bar (11). Each finger (13) also includes an inclined edge (29) formed thereon to present only a very narrow edge (31) to the paper (32) as a support surface.
