Abstract

The movable folding apparatus (120, 121) has a fitting (34) which is movable on a rail pair (130). A setting member moves the apparatus on the rail pair. The folding apparatus fitting runs on the rails by means of bearings. The folding apparatus can be fitted to a rotary newspaper printing press along with a folding apparatus fitting with three rows of folding correctors.
