Abstract
A sorting apparatus for collating the output of a reproducing machine comprises a plurality of sheet receiving bins arranged in a row. The bin spacing for the first and last bins is greater than that for intermediate bins. The narrow spaced intermediate bins are articulated to allow their bin entrance openings to be increased as a sheet is fed into them. Individual deflection gates are associated with each of the bins. The deflection gate for the first bin is actuated by means of a solenoid whereas the deflection gates for the remaining bins are actuated by a coordinated cam bank.
