Abstract

1311667 Sorting parcels WESTINGHOUSE BRAKE & SIGNAL CO Ltd 24 April 1970 [2 May 1969] 22498/69 Heading B8A [Also in Division G4] A control system for controlling discharge or routeing actions of objects (not shown) travelling along a predetermined route comprises main storage means (not shown), means (as shown manual keys K1-K50 and associated circuitry, Figs. 1 and 3) for recording in the storage means in respect of each of a plurality of successive objects, a first count representation for predetermining the number of intervals to elapse between the object passing a predetermined point on the route and a point at which an action is to be initiated. The system also includes a first action representation by which the action to be initiated is identifiable. Finally the system comprises decrementing means (Fig. 4), responsive to successive ones of the intervals elapsing, for decrementing the first count representation, and response means responsive to a predetermined significant decremented representation being attained for representation, and applying the respective action representation to select the respective action (as shown, operation of the output relay Fig. 4), to be initiated. The system particularly described, is intended to be used to control the outlet gates (not shown) of a belt conveyer (not shown) of a Post Office parcel sorting machine. The output relay (Fig. 4) operates the mechanism of a respective one of such gates. The storage means comprises a magnetic core device (not shown).
