Abstract
Sorting apparatus in which tray assemblies in a vertical array are opened to facilitate feeding in sheets carried on a transport past the tray assemblies. The tray assemblies are hinged at one end to pivot when engaged by gear mechanism carried on a reciprocating apparatus. A deflector operatively associated with reciprocating apparatus deflects the sheets from the transport as each tray assembly is pivoted open in succession.
