"Perfecting"
is done by the use of a special cylinder.
In normal operation the printed sheet
from the first unit is transferred to
the second via a transfer cylinder. This
is done by taking the sheet via "grippers"
and passing it to the next cylinder by
gripping the lead edge of the sheet and
then transferring again by the lead edge
of the sheet. To "perfect" or print the
back side the timing is changed on the
transfer cylinder so that in the transfer
process the sheet is picked up by the
grippers of the No. 2 cylinder at the
tail edge of the sheet thus effectively
"turning" it over.
