ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for handling articles, such as pieces of timber, of different types. The articles are conveyed by a suitable conveyer to a location situated at the discharge end of the conveyor. Over the conveyer there is a series of compartments distributed longitudinally along the conveyer and arranged in different groups with the compartments of each group arranged with one of the compartments thereof nearer to the discharge end of the conveyer than the next compartment of each group. Articles of different types are respectively situated in the different groups of compartments. Articles of a given type are discharged from the group of compartments in which they are situated in such a way that the articles are delivered from the compartment of a given group which is nearest to the discharge end of the conveyer first to the conveyer and then sequentially the articles of the same type are delivered from the next compartment to the conveyer, the discharge of the articles from the compartments of a given group being carried out in such a way that articles of a given type form on the conveyer a substantially uniform layer of the articles having a predetermined depth.
