Abstract
The gaps which develop at times in a file of cigarette packs moving from a packing machine to a processing machine are filled by spare packs stacked in an upright magazine which is adjacent to the conveyor for the file of packs. The lowermost pack of the stack is transferred into an oncoming gap by a pusher which moves the lowermost pack in as well as transversely of the direction of movement of packs in the file. The last stage of transfer includes gravitational descent of the spare pack into the corresponding gap.
