摘要

The input (4) has a feeding unit (6) for feeding letters to be sorted to a sorting unit (10), and a box discharging station (14) arranged opposite to the sorting unit relative to the feeding unit. The station discharges letters (8) from a letter box (16). The station has a box discharging assistance for supporting manual discharging of the letters, and a pivoting device for pivoting the letter box, where the assistance is driven by a machine. An independent claim is also included for a method for inputting a material to a letter sorting system.
