A conveyor belt (24) which starts from a feed device (23) and has compartments (25), lying at equal distances one behind the other, for addressed articles is disposed upstream of an endless conveyor means (18). Transport containers (28) lying at equal distances one behind the other are mounted on the endless conveying means (18). The travel rates of the conveyor belt (24) and of the endless conveying means (18) are matched to one another such that a transport container (28) is allocated to a compartment (25) and a specific collection container (22) for articles with specific addresses is allocated to a transport container (28). A reading and measuring device (26) reads the address of each article and counts the number of compartments (25) moving past. An electronic control device influences a transport container (28) as it reaches the allocated collection container (22) in such a manner that the article in the transport container (28) is automatically transferred into the allocated collection container (22). This system is in particular suitable for the fast and versatile sorting and the distribution of custom photographic jobs. <IMAGE>
