ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a chain of interchangeable control boards controlling the operation of a sequence of sorters. A first control board responds to a sort command. If a first sorter under the control of the first control board is unable to complete the sort operation, a second control board receives a related command. If the second sorter under control of the second control board is unable to complete the sort operation, a third control board receives another related command. Finally, one of the sorters in the chain completes the sort operation and a notification of the completion is carried back up the chain of control boards.
