Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided for transferring a batch of envelopes that have been arranged in face-to-face relationship. The envelopes are transferred in a substantially horizontal plane from a first location to a second location spaced from the first location. The apparatus includes a pair of downwardly depending spaced-apart members which are each adapted to contact the batch of envelopes along the end edges of the envelopes. One of the paddles is adapted to urge a batch along a guide channel from the first position to the second position. The other of the paddles is adapted to urge a batch along the guide channel in the opposite direction from the second position to the first position.
