The tray is normally held in generally horizontal position on the carriage. Actuators are provided along the path of the carriages and engage and move the trays such that they swivel about a vertical axis and tilt about a horizontal axis to deliver an article to one or more delivery positions along the path of the carriages. Reset devices are provided along the path of the carriages downstream of the delivery positions for returning the trays to their normal position.
