ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for parallelly aligning pieces of timber, such as logs and billets, for further handling, comprises the serial feeding of pieces of timber into a sorting zone provided with a fast-rotating drum surface which pushes the timber towards, and aligns the timber with, a more slowly rotating drum surface provided with engagement members. The pieces of timber are aligned on and between the respective drum surfaces so as to be parallel and at right angles to the direction of rotation of said surfaces. The pieces of timber are pushed off in parallelly aligned orientation from the more slowly rotating surface for further handling.
