Abstract
A machine for treating articles, such as containers, for example, includes an infeed worm conveyor to receive a continuous flow of containers. The speed of machine operation is regulated by a speed control mechanism so as to maintain a desired constant length accumulation of containers ahead of the infeed worm conveyor. The infeed worm conveyor is axially shiftable, under the influence of forces created by accumulated containers, to transmit such forces to the speed control mechanism as an indication of the size of container accumulation.
