Abstract
Mail is sorted by scanning zip code data, delivering the scanned mail from a delivery conveyor to a sorting conveyor and altering the speed of the sorting conveyor when there is a change in the zip code; zip code batches cannot be interrupted by missing pieces. The delivery conveyor and sorting conveyor are at right angles and both conveyors may be duplicated by a parallel conveyor, enabling large size mail to be handled.
