A method and apparatus for improving the timing between the releasing of documents from enclosure feeders and the arrival of pusher fingers fixedly attached to a conveyer belt in a gathering section of an inserting machine. As the conveyer belt begins to wear and stretch after being used for a long period of time, the timing between the releasing of documents and the arrival of pusher fingers may no longer be appropriate. By using two sensors placed, preferably, at the two ends of the gathering section to measure the timing of the arrival of the pusher fingers at the sensors, the stretch of the chain can be determined and the delay of the arrival of a pusher finger at each enclosure feeder can be calculated. Adjustment to the releasing timing at each enclosure feeder can be made accordingly.
