An apparatus for sorting components into two or more grades comprises a container 3 or 4 for storing tested components of a given grade, a testing device 1 and means for opening and closing the container. In use, only one container is open when the testing device determines that the component under test is of the grade to be stored in the container (e.g. pass) and the container is closed when the testing device determines that the component under test is of any other grade (e.g. fail). The arrangement avoids the prior art procedure where the operator selected in which open-topped container to store the component, which could lead to errors as a result of fatigue etc. <IMAGE> |
