Abstract (en)

[origin: US4691912A] A method and apparatus is provided for separating flat objects such as mail. A control circuit compares the spacing between successive flat objects with a preferred preselected spacing and if these is a difference the control circuit changes the drive apparatus so the actual spacing between flat objects is the preferred spacing.
