Method and apparatus for encoding a device presenting rows of encodable sites and for verifying the correctness of the encoding of such a device, the apparatus including a ram assembly for press-fitting balls or the like, received from a ball-feeder assembly, into selected ones of the encodable sites, which sites take the form of blind cavities. The encodable device is light-transmitting and, after being encoded, the rows of sites are successively sensed by an optical reader to verify the accuracy of the encoding procedure. Electrical signals, derived from optical signals generated by the reader and representing the code of each row, are converted to Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) data format and stored in a circulating shift register in a row-by-row fashion so that the stored information can be subsequently converted into human readable form.
