摘要

There is provided a method and apparatus whereby pieces of timber are sorted into lots on supporting arms which are suspended by flexible and extensible members. As the timber is added, the arms are lowered and finally extend down to a conveyor apparatus. The arms then open to discharge the timber on to the conveyor apparatus and are then drawn up, are closed and reach the start position where a new lot of timber is received.
