This invention relates to methods and run on appropriatesprocket'wheels such as means for arranging products such as sliced 8. The depressions 9 are clearly shown in bacon for economical packing and means for Figures 1 and 3. The speed of the conveyer carrying out the method.

The amount of this spacing It is conventional practice in packing sliced may be altered by changing either the mabacon to cause vthe slices as they come from chine speed or the conveyer speed.
