ABSTRACT Filling Method A process for filling seven rod-shaped objects into a cylin- drical container wherein a group of seven parallel rod-shaped objects supported in two adjacent rows of four and three respectively and having a substantially trapeziform confi- guration in cross-sectional outline, is forced lengthwise through a funnel whose internal wall defines a longitudinal fin and is suitably profiled to undergo a gradual transition in cross-sectional outline from roughly trapeziform at the inlet to roughly hexagonal at the outlet so as to guide longitudinally and rearrange the rod-shaped objects to have substantially the configuration in cross-sectional outline of a regular hexagon, the longitudinal fin positioned to contact, and shaped to guide the middle rod-shaped object of the row of three to the centre of the hexagon while simultaneously the outer rod-shaped objects of the row of three are guided to form the adjacent corners of the hexagon on either side of the fin, the two inner rod-shaped objects of the row of four are guided to form the adjacent corners of the hexagon opposite the longitudinal fin and the two outer rod-shaped objects of the row of four are guided to form the remaining corners of the hexagon, in which configu- ration the group of rod-shaped objects is forced out of the funnel into the container.
