          passage in the work table and a motor for powering the                      
          rotation of the rollers.                                                    
               Claim 20 defines a cushioning conversion machine                       
          comprising a conversion assembly, a severing assembly, a pad                
          transferring system downstream of the severing assembly having              
          an upper and lower series of drive elements spaced to                       
          accommodate a pad and effect transfer thereof along a                       
          generally arcuate path, and a motor for powering rotation of                
          the drive elements.                                                         


               Claim 21 recites the combination of a cushioning                       
          conversion machine and a table, the cushioning conversion                   
          machine having a conversion assembly, a severing assembly                   
          downstream of the conversion assembly and a pad-transferring                
          system downstream of the severing assembly, and the table                   
          having a horizontal work platform and an opening therethrough,              
          the cushioning conversion machine being located below the work              
          platform and the pad-transferring system comprising an upper                
          and lower series of drive rollers defining a predetermined                  
          path leading from the severing assembly to the opening in the               
          work platform and a motor for powering the rotation of the
