ABSTRACT:
A bundle turning unit comprises a turnpost which is arranged in a vertical attitude with respect to the direction of feed of a bundle on a conveyor. The turnpost is movable at a controlled rate by a power-operated device between an advanced position in which the turnpost overlies the conveyor by a predetermined maximum distance and a retracted position spaced from the advanced position. The turnpost is moved between the advanced position and the retracted position as the bundle is advanced by the conveyor to cause the bundle to be turned through substantially 90.degree. with respect to the plane of the conveyor.
