Abstract
A synchronizing system is provided to produce gating pulses which occur only when a pocket between adjacent convoluted rollers is directly under the optical system. These gating pulses control operation of the circuitry of the grading apparatus and the ejection apparatus. With this arrangement, the rollers are in effect blanked out of the field of view of the optical system and the grading system can 'see' only articles and objects in the pockets between rollers.
