ABSTRACT:
In an insertion machine a track 20 moves groups of items past feed stations 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42 during respective machine cycles. The feed stations selectively feed items onto the track 20 for inclusion with a group of items and eventual stuffing into an envelope to which postage need be allocated. One of the feed stations is a dual item station 32 from which items having a first weight and from which items having a second weight can be fed. A sensor 53 is provided proximate the dual item station 32 for determining the number of first weight items the number of second weight items fed from the dual item station 32. In order for data processing means 102 to calculate the amount of postage necessary, an operator uses a keyboard and display 110 to input predetermined per item weight values for items held at select stations. The data processing means 102 uses the predetermined values indicative of the per item weight of items held in the stations to obtain a calculated total weight for each group of items.
