Moreover, elevating units are provided of a number corresponding to the number of lifting posi- tions for conveying the articles from the lifting positions to the depositing areas. The conveyor is moved step-by- step at a step length s = b/n-1 wherein b is the distance between two adjacent lifting positions and n is the number of lifting positions or the number of steps. The magazine has a distance a = s - x from the one lifting position closest in conveying direction V wherein x is an integer. The method and the apparatus are suitable especially for the supply of intermediate layers to a transport unit for elongated articles and have the advantage that the magazine can be recharged without shutting down the opera- tion of the transport unit.
