Abstract (en)

A method of producing a continuous stream of cigarettes (14), according to which a continuous strip (4) of paper, bearing a succession of equally-spaced reference marks (20 or 25), is fed to a loading station (8) where a stream of shredded tobacco is fed on to the strip (4); the strip (4) being advanced, at a predetermined speed, past a first detector (21) for emitting a first signal upon the passage of each reference mark (20 or 25), and to a transverse cutter (13) associated with a second detector (22) for emitting a second signal at each cutting operation; the timing of each second signal being compared with the timing of the corresponding first signal to obtain a succession of third signals, via which the advancement speed of the paper strip (4) is controlled. <IMAGE>
