Abstract: Distressed forms or sheets folded at progressive lengths are lifted from a first platform, processed as by a printer and then stacked on a second platform on the other side of the printer from the first platform. The platform is disposed on tubular supports and is constrained on such supports to become lowered in position by the weight of the distressed forms being stacked on it. A guide extends from the printer to direct the forms downwardly into a compartment which is defined by the platform and by walls extending from the tubular supports in spaced relationship to each other. A tray is disposed on the compartment on the platform and is configured to direct the sheets downwardly so that the forward ends of the forms will be stacked properly on the platform against the forward wall. An endless belt is disposed in the compartment at the forward end of the compartment and is provided with teeth at its outer periphery.
