Abstract
Apparatus for rapidly lining a container with a box-like array of discrete lining panels includes a panel-grasping mechanism maintaining a vacuum grip on the panels until the array is deposited in the container. A method for safely and rapidly operating the apparatus automatically in accordance with a prescribed program of interrelated steps is disclosed. The method provides for immediate interruption of the apparatus movements in event of a malfunction and after correction of the malfunction for resumption of apparatus movement from the point in the cycle at which the interruption occurred.
