Abstract
Stacks which are about to be subdivided by a sword-like tool at a dividing station are monitored by a spring-biased mechanical sensor which causes the generation of signals serving to change the position of the stack at the dividing station with reference to the tool and/or vice versa if the monitored height deviates from an anticipated height so that the tool divides the stack into piles of desired height. The sensor monitors the stacks ahead of the dividing station.
