Abstract
In order to simplify the apparatus and increase throughputs, sections are stacked by delivering the sections transversely to their length, separating them from one another, turning them over individually if desired and forming them into groups, all the sections in one group either being turned-over or not turned-over, the groups then being stacked in superposed layers by a single transfer device which lifts each group up and puts the group down on a stack.
