Method for sorting articles i.e. letters, involves taking sequences of articles of first and of second types to holding apparatuses, and transferring articles in sequence out to sorting output of sorting installation

摘要

The method involves supplying each article to be sorted to a sorting installation e.g. large letter sorting installation (Gb-Anl), using a supply and feed device (E-E.3). A sorting output of the installation is selected based on a sorting feature value of each article in each of holding apparatuses (Hv.1-Hv.19). The sequences of articles of first and second types are taken to the apparatuses, such that each filled apparatus contains the respective sequence of articles of the first type or of the second type. The articles are transferred out in the sequence to the output. An independent claim is also included for a configuration for sorting a set of articles based on a prescribed sorting feature.
