A sorting machine is provided to receive successive sheets from an outlet from a copying machine. The sorting machine has plural trays mounted so that the inlet ends of the trays move progressively past the sheet outlet in opposite directions, the inlet ends of the trays being relatively close together when positioned at either side of the outlet, but the inlet ends of adjacent trays being widely spaced to accommodate the incoming sheets from the outlet of the copier. The trays are fed past and spaced at the outlet by driven members at opposite sides of the tray which engage and shift stacked tray supports in succession. The other ends of the trays are supported for relative angular and longitudinal sliding movements on a vertically shiftable support timed with the feed of the inlet ends to minimize tray angle.
