Sheets and like flat work are prepared for feeding to ironing or calendering machines by conveying an edge portion of each sheet on to a table surface on which said portion is held by suction, and said portion is then transferred towards feed tapes of the machine by means of a plurality of transverse members at least one of which moves relatively to the sheet to form a fold which is passed towards the machine and the edge is laid on and gripped by the feed tapes, and the sheet is drawn in a sinuous path over the transverse members to smooth out the sheet as it passes towards the machine. A suction box may act initially on the leading edge of the sheet and the remainder of the sheet is later drawn in the form of a loop into the suction box. The equipment may include a clear bar to retain a hanging part of the sheet during the movement of a first transfer bar to form a loop and a second transfer bar to form a further loop and to transfer it on to the feed tapes.
