Abstract
Transfer and positioning apparatus including a vertically adjustable table, a workpiece introducing belt adapted to slidably move an underlying workpiece into a first location on the table. At the first location, the workpiece is engaged by fingers which depress the table to disengage the workpiece from the belt and subsequently move the workpiece across the table to a second location while changing the direction and orientation of the workpiece. At the second station, the fingers are elevated, allowing an elevation of the table and an engagement of the workpiece with a second belt which in turn slides the workpiece from the table to a second station.
