-29- Abstract Air operated material handling equipment moves con- tainers having elongated longitudinal axes from a mass in a bulk storage zone, wherein the longitudinal axes are disposed vertically and in side-by-side relation over a transport surface means having a prearranged pattern of floatation air jet openings in the surface slanted in a downstream direction. The transport surface means is divided into a plurality of zones including a bulk storage zone and a single file zone with one or more intermediate transport zones therebetween. The intermediate transfer zones have converging sides to move the containers from the bulk storage area into single file. Jets of air are delivered by angularly-disposed floatation air jet openings to lift, support and to move the articles forward. Additional acceleration jets of larger size accelerate the leading containers to separate them from the mass of containers in the intermediate transport zones to move them into single file. The converging sides bring the forward portion of the mass into an equilateral configuration and cooperate with the acceleration jets to move them subsequently into isosceles triangular configurations with an ever increas- ing base length and finally into single file.
