This carriage comprises rollers which, when the carriage is moved, drive the lower card of the pack which is isolated by a flange. The pattern of the transported card is read and this information controls the movement of the carriage which releases the card into a determined distribution box. To this end the carriage goes beyond the chosen distribution box while pushing non return springs, then comes back in such a manner that the non return springs immobilize the card above the chosen distribution box into which this card falls by gravity when the carriage has gone away. | |
