GAS TABLE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method is disclosed for moving an object which is floatable on a cushion of gas from a first station to a second station. A porous table over which the object is moved is divided into a plurality of zones of gas f low. Contiguous gas zones can have the same amount of gas flowing therethrough thereby to define areas of gas flow. The areas of gas flow are never larger than the object being moved thereover. The areas of gas flow have different amounts of gas flow with the largest occuring at the first station and the lowest at the second station. When an object is placed at the first station, it is supported on areas having two different amounts of gas flow. This causes the object to tip front end downwardly in the area of lowest gas flow and thereby be moved over the porous table member eventually to the second station. The specification also teaches a method for moving an object from any one of a plurality of first stations to a single second station. -1-
