Abstract
An apparatus for automatic recognition and registration of bottles includes detectors positioned to detect a light pattern from bottles passing a sensing stage. The outputs of the sensors are detected and converted to unique output signals for application to a computer and registration circuit. The computer circuit is pre-programmed to provide an output corresponding to the value of a given bottle passing through the sensing stage. The output of the computer is applied to a printing system for enabling a printer output corresponding to the value assigned to a series of bottles registered by the apparatus.
