Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0827786A1] The sorting machine has the letter items moved along a track by grips and with address data on each item read by the control. The letter items are each provided with a destination with the final sort into a variable capacity store formed by several sites. This enables the sorter to cope with varying amounts of mail for each destination without having maximum capacity bins for each address. The sorter is capable of handling different thickness of letter and can be used to sort any type of flat item with destination codes.
