A method of transferring articles from a continuously moving feeding conveyor to a receiving conveyor whereby a reversing roller device, positioned within the delivery end of the feeding conveyor, is reciprocable with respect to the receiving end of the receiving conveyor in such a way that when the delivery of articles from the feeding conveyor is to be interrupted during a period of time, the velocity of the receiving conveyor is increased approximately simultaneously with the initiation of the forward movement of the reversing roller device but such that the receiving conveyor, during the period of time wherein delivery of articles from the feeding conveyor is interrupted, is moved a distance which is greater than the distance of total forward movement achieved by the reversing roller device, after which the velocity of the receiving conveyor is reduced to its original velocity and the reversing roller device is returned to its starting position.
