ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system has a plurality of cars displaceable along a track and each having a side provided with a plurality of parallel guides each in turn receiving a respective code marker slidable along the respective guide and arrestable therein at any of a plurality of predetermined index positions. The pattern defined by the markers in the index position determines the path of travel of the respective car on the track. A dispatcher is provided comprising a support adjacent the track and a plurality of rows of encoders on the support. Each row is alignable with a respective guide on one of the cars and each encoder is also alignable with the respective position on the respective guide. The encoders each comprise a remotely operable abutment pin projectable from the support into the respective guide such that displacement of a car past a support having one such abutment pin on each such row projecting from the support displaces the respective markers along the respective guides. Apparatus is provided for displacing the abutment pins and the side of the car away from each other when the desired address code has been set on the side of the car by displacement of the markers with the abutment.
