A method and apparatus for simultaneously chopping a plurality of articles such as film chips from a web in which the film chips are contiguous or spaced a predetermined distance apart, transporting the film chips under the influence of gravity to a loading station and spreading the articles apart during such transport and precisely orienting and depositing the film chips in complementary film chip receptors which are positioned at the loading station in side-by-side relation. A plurality of guide tracks with the assistance of air jets transport the film chips from the chopping mechanism to the film chip receptors. Each of the guide tracks cooperates with mechanism at the loading station for precisely orienting and depositing each film chip in its complementary receptor.
