Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0846573A1] A method of forming signatures (3) for sending to a sewing machine (2), preferably but not necessarily obtained from sheets (9) output by a photocopying machine, in a production line (1) for the reprographic production of books, includes a stage in which the sheets are folded into an approximate omega shape, resulting in signatures in which a section (7a) of each leaf (7) beginning at the spine (6) is closed and the remaining section (7b) of each leaf (7) further from the spine (6) is open, the said signatures being such that they can be shot directly onto a saddle (5) of the sewing machine (2), which they straddle. <IMAGE>
