A ticket shingling process and an apparatus for performing the process by which tickets are serially stripped from the bottom of a stack of tickets by means of a reciprocating suction means which, in conjunction with rotable feed means, transfers the stripped ticket to a longitudinally extending first conveyor. Suction means is provided above the downstream end of the first conveyor to lift each ticket into engagement with ticket aligning means on a second, laterally extending conveyor where glue is applied to the ticket. The second conveyor is advanced a predetermined increment whereupon a succeeding ticket is mated with the first ticket in adhesive offset or shingled manner. The process is repeated until a predetermined number of tickets comprise the ticket assembly. Means is provided for alternative movement of the second conveyor to accomplish desired ticket placement within a bank.
