Abstract
A bundle distribution system is comprised of tilt tray carriers coupled in tandem forming a continuous loop, each carrier being a link in the loop. A top loader which is positioned above the track so as to minimize the space required therefor, is capable of dropping signature bundles onto the desired tray with great accuracy. The top loader also orients bundles delivered thereto at an angle which compensates for tilting of the bundle as it leaves the top loader thereby assuring that bundles are dropped upon each carrier in a predetermined orientation, without tumbling.
