Abstract: An apparatus which can shingle a series of products and a method relating thereto, the apparatus, in one embodiment, having first upper and lower moving surfaces to receive a product, a second upper moving surface at an exit end of the first moving surfaces, the second upper surface being angled downwardly, a deflector to deflect the leading edge of the product moving along the second upper moving surface, and a second lower moving surface located below the deflector to receive a product. The device provides a positive control for the product and eliminates the use of delivery fan (fly) systems. Also provided are devices to reform various combinations of copies as used in the printing industry.

Abstract: A system for metering the volume of a liquid, e.g. ink, supplied by a positive displacement pump to an installation, such as a printing press, employs a device for generating a first series of signals each indicative of completion of a pumping stroke. The speed of the pump is also sensed to generate a second series of signals each indicative of the positive supply of liquid by the pump. The signals of the first series are counted only in the presence of a corresponding signal of the second series. The result is an accurate numerical indication of the total volume of liquid pumped.
