Abstract
Suspended birds traveling in one direction on a linear delivery conveyor are transferred to a parallel oppositely moving receiver linear conveyor by an intervening rotary transfer conveyor and coacting stationary bird camming bars which nudge the birds from shackles on the delivery conveyor to shackles on the rotary transfer conveyor and from the latter shackles to shackles on the receiving conveyor. Simplicity of construction and positive reliable operation are featured.
