An arrangement in an automatic document-handling apparatus for transporting large numbers of documents (S), such as banknotes or cheques, at high speeds includes first and second transportation paths for the transportation of documents in the direction of their long axes and transverse axes, respectively, and a gripping device (10 to 13) for moving documents from the first to the second of these paths. This gripping device includes a firmly mounted, rotatable drive device (10), and a moveably mounted, relay-activatable co-rotating device (11) rotating together with the drive device when in engagement therewith. The relay (12) is inactive when moving a document between the transportation paths and becomes active upon completion of one revolution of the co-rotating device (11). This device is moved into engagement with the drive device (10), when the relay (12) switches from its active to its inactive state. <IMAGE> |
