A conveyor is provided to move the articles adjacent the work station and pans are provided to deliver preselected articles from the conveyor to the operator work station. The chain can be moved a predetermined degree to align a preselected basket with the work station. A predetermined vertical compartment on the preselected basket can be indicated at the work station for introducing articles into the predetermined vertical compartment and a predetermined vertical compartment of the preselected basket can also be indicated at the work station for removing the combination of articles therein. An outgoing conveyor moves combinations of articles from the work station.
