The input station of a mailing machine includes an inclined tray for feeding vertically extending mail pieces. The thickness of the mail pieces is sensed, and a separator is responsive to sensed thickness to control the feed of the lowest mail piece on the tray to a weighing device. The mail pieces are transported vertically upwardly from the weighing device, to an upper roll, with the bottoms of the mail pieces being carried over the roll to start their descent to an output stacker. A postage meter may be provided at the weighing station, or adjacent the top roll. A flap moistener may be provided upstream of the top roll, and the flaps may be sealed adjacent the top roll. |
