Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed for manufacturing ozone by treating oxygen or an oxygen bearing gas with UV radiation in the range of from about 130-170 nm. The method involves the use of cathode rays to bombard a UV emitting material which emits radiation substantially in the 130-170 nm range. The invention takes advantage of the fact that no radiation is generated substantially above 200 nm or below 130 nm which wavelengths tend to destroy ozone. Thus, unlike the prior art, the present invention does not both make and destroy ozone, but simply makes ozone.

Abstract: A machine for continuously cutting a web of paper or the like into sheets of different length and then sorting and stacking the sheets includes an improved sheet stacking mechanism for stacking a wide range of sheet sizes. The sheet stacking mechanism comprises a multiple section skid lift assembly, means for automatically and continuously lowering the skid lift assembly to accomodate the increasing height of the stacked sheets, a pneumatically actuated jogger rail system including joggers for successively aligning the edges of the stacked sheets and an adjustable tamper device for stabilizing the sheets on the stack.
