Abstract
Bulk nails from a single outlet track of a vibrating feedbowl are selectively diverted into a plurality of nail tracks. During each nailing operation of a pallet-making machine, one nail from each track is picked from the track and delivered to a nail-driving chuck. The presence of nails in the track is sensed, and the selective filling of the tracks is based upon the presence or absence of nails in the individual tracks.
