Abstract: A sheet conveying apparatus which includes a conveyor operable for movement through an arcuate run and a substantially rectilinear run includes improved "wickets" defined by elongate arms which are carried by the conveyor and extend outwardly therefrom for transferring conveyor movement to a sheet of material, such as veneer. Each improved arm is provided with opposed sides which flex outwardly relative to one another during movement of an arm through the arcuate run. The advantage in such a construction results in a strengthened arm supported in cantilever manner during the arcuate run.
