APPARATUS FOR AND METHOD OF COLLATING SORTING AND STACKING SHEETS CONCURRENTLY ABSTRACT An apparatus for and a novel method of collating, sorting and stacking sheets concurrently termed "offset collation" is disclosed. The first sheets of sets to be collated, numbering up to the desired number of sets in a job, are transported from an entry station to a unitary bin sheet receiving station via an arcuate sheet transport station having a feed path to and through the aforementioned unitary bin sheet receiving station. These first sheets are stacked in the unitary bin sheet receiving station in an alternate offset fashion clearly demarcating the sets to be collated. The second sheets of the aforementioned sets are then sequentially inserted in the same alternate offset fashion contiguous to the first sheets. The method is repeated until all the sheets comprising a set have been inserted into all the sets. The final result is collated, sorted and stacked sets readied for convenient removal from the unitary bin sheet receiving station by an operator.
