Abstract
In a cigarette packing machine bundles of cigarettes are wrapped in metallic foil and fed along two parallel rows. Successive foremost articles in the rows are inserted into holders of pairs of planetary mechanisms. After indexing of the mechanisms in opposite directions, the articles are ejected at a spacing less than that between the rows.
