Abstract
An automatic mailing machine includes a mail transport device for moving individual pieces of mail, which can be of varying shapes and sizes, from a mail bundle to an oppositely disposed apparatus for weighing such pieces of mail and to then move same to a further station for additional processing. The automatic mailing machine may include apparatus for detecting the size of the piece of mail being processed and weighed which then compares that information against a norm. The automatic mailing machine is configurable to occupy a much smaller space than conventional mailing machines.
