1280836 Orienting articles INSTITUT FIZIKI AN LATVIISKOI SSR 17 Dec 1969 [25 Dec 1968] 61630/69 Heading B8S Components 13, which are current conducting and non-magnetic and are positioned at random in magazine 8, are discharged one by one from the bottom thereof by a reciprocating pusher 9. Each component falls on to a platform 14 of the pusher which introduces the component into the alternating magnetic field of an electromagnet 7. The field causes the components to be oriented with the same end first. Components fall into shoot 15 to be discharged therefrom. Pusher 9 is provided with steel needles 10 and 11 which concentrate the magnetic field and improve the orientation of the component.
