Apparatus for feeding articles, such as banknotes, along a feed path comprises first and second separately driven feed systems (7,101; 5, 6, 8), the second feed system being operated at a substantially constant speed. The first feed system feeds articles to the second feed system. A sensing system (23, 24) includes a sensor for sensing the passage of articles. The sensor (23) is connected to a motor control system (102) which controls the feed rate of the first feed system (7, 101) by controlling a motor (101) of the first feed system so that the separation between successive articles passing through the second feed system satisfies at least one predetermined condition. |
