ABSTRACT:
Sorting apparatus comprises a locating device for defining an array of selectable sites and for generating for each site (when selected) a signal or signals identifying that site, a conveyer for conveying objects to be sorted past the array of sites and, a separator for separating selected and unselected objects. The locating device includes a movable selector member for use by an operator to select objects as they pass the array of sites. Preferably the array of sites is defined by a matrix of sets of orthogonal coils for receiving electrical signals transmitted by the selector member, and preferably the conveying device conveys the objects to be sorted over the matrix of orthogonal coils. The separator is connected to an output of the locating device for actuating the separator in dependence upon site-identifying signals generated by the locating device.
