Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for increasing the number of articles processed over a distance traveled in the machine direction of an assembly line. In particular, the orientation of the long dimension of the article is provided transverse to the machine direction, thus process rug the articles side-by-side instead of end-to-end.
