<p>In a high-speed machine for making a tobacco rod of the cigar or cigarette type, a quick-return, rotary severing device is mounted on a support plate having a longitudinal ledger guide for the tobacco rod. The support plate is transversely attached to a frame which reciprocates parallel to the tobacco rod passing through the ledger guide. In timed relation to the reciprocation of the frame and attached support plate, the blade of the rotary severing device cuts through the continually moving tobacco rod.</p> |
