An apparatus and method for storing rubber-covered cylinder sleeves for
offset printing for rotary printing machines permits an identified
rubber-covered cylinder sleeve to be found easily. The apparatus is
equipped with an electronic memory device into which, for each
rubber-covered cylinder sleeve, characteristic data can be entered and
stored. As the rubber-covered cylinder sleeve is introduced into a
storage, the characteristic data from the rubber-covered cylinder sleeve
are read into the memory device, and the rubber-covered cylinder sleeve
can be removed from the storage apparatus in accordance with predefined
data.
