Abstract
An installation for the automatic reading of information applied on a code carrier on movable objects, especially on piece goods, by means of an image converter connected to an evaluation system; the code carrier arranged on the object is thereby moved through the pick-up field of the image converter in any desired angular- and width-position as well as, within a limited area of any desired height- and inclination-position; a linear semiconductor sensor with a large number of photoelements is provided as image converter in a narrow line-shaped pick-up field extending transversely to the movement direction of the object while the code carrier has an optically active coating.
