Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1736250A2] The method involves passing an insert (52) carrying visual codes (53, 54) and sorting information into a sorting machine. The sorting machine is programmed to distribute the insert based on the sorting information to fragment letters (51) of a postman`s walk into several letter groups, where the insert separates the groups into two consecutive distribution points of the walk. Large and non-mechanized objects are manually inserted between the letters by marking letters using the visual codes.
