![]() Each pre-folded sheet in the supply stations consists of two pages connected together by a fold or bight portion and the machine of my invention further includes means which will engage one page of each sheet in the said stations to partially open the folded sheets so that the carriage, as it travels, will enter between the individual pages to engage and carry along the sheets, with the leading edge of the carriage in contact with the inner surfaces of said bight portions. To this end the machine according to my invention comprises a plurality of supply stations in which stacks of the prefolded sheets are placed in proper sequence and a reciprocating pick-up carriage, with mechanism causing the same to travel a path which traverses all of said supply stations. There are many machines for this purpose which collect single sheets of material in proper order, but it is the primary object of my invention to provide a machine uy the use of which pre-folded sheets may be collated in a predetermined numerical sequence in order to assemble them into a booklet or pamphlet, and then automatically staple the sheets together so that once the machine has completed its function the booklets or pamphlets are ready for use.
