    Abstract: A pendulum type folder chute detachably mounted to spindles journalled in the side frame walls and having duplicate crank arrangements on either side thereof, including a crank arm, a link arm, and a drive wheel on either side frame such that the mass and driving force of the crank arrangement is balanced. The drive wheel includes a stroke adjustment feature which includes a circular recess defined in the outer surface of the drive wheel, the center of which is offset from the axis of rotation of the drive wheel, and a circular disc is provided in the circular recess rotatable therewithin and having its geometric center coinciding with the geometric center of the recess. A plurality of holes are in a circular locus in the recess coinciding with the locus of a plurality of holes provided on the disc near the periphery thereof.
