DEFINITION

Classification: 198/369.1

One of a plurality of main line conveyors selectively moves to connect with a spaced path:

(under subclass 348) Subject matter wherein an adjacent source or destination route is physically separated from a principal carrying route having two or more carriers and including a particular means for effecting a relative movement of one of the carriers in the principal carrying route between the separated source or destination and the remainder of the principal carrying route to close the gap when it is desired to carry a load to or from the adjacent source or destination route.
