Abstract: In the intermittent forward feeding of a material web provided with transverse crease lines and simultaneous punching of holes into the material web in a definite relation to the crease line pattern, it is important to ensure that any faults in the length of the forward feed, do not accumulate during working over longer periods. Such faults, which occur due to unavoidable inaccuracies would lead successively to ever increasing faultiness in the placing of the holes. A method and an arrangement adapted to avoid the accumulation of such faults are provided.In the method the material web during each forward feeding is advanced a distance which exceeds the correct distance between two transverse lines by the fault margin. Subsequently, before the next forward feeding, the web is restored to a correct position, not affected by any faults in the distance between the crease lines.

Abstract: A rotary driver feeds a web containing transverse crease lines. The driver contains circumferentially spaced edges which drivingly engage the crease lines. When the crease lines are spaced farther apart than the edges, that part of the web disposed between those edges is deflected inwardly, as by a vacuum, to bring the crease lines into engagement with the edges.
