Abstract
Gaps between articles of laundry being passed between two automated laundry processing stations are reduced. By sensing a gap and accelerating an upstream conveyor, gaps between articles of laundry passed between stations are reduced. A reduction in gaps provides for more efficient and quicker processing of articles of laundry.
