An improved apparatus for mass production manufacturing, particularly an apparatus for dynamically regulating input and output workloads to achieve efficient operations, such as an apparatus which receives continuous input of separate articles such as can ends in long "strings", and subdivides them into individual arrays or "sticks", in which form the ends are handled so as to insure that the output of one or more manufacturing machines may be accommodated by one or more additional processing machines located downline or downstream thereof, while permitting all such machines to operate either continuously or intermittently without loss of production. |
