Abstract: A method for the distribution of sheets, especially glued together sheets of paper, cardboard, corrugated cardboard and the like, from individual small sheet stacks. The method provides for alternating ones of small sheet stacks proceeding from a machine to be turned over one hundred and eighty degrees and returned to a conveyor belt. Thereafter, individual sheets of sequentially arriving small sheet stacks are delivered to a final loading station. The installation for performing the method comprises an endless conveyor belt having an endless loop formed in its top portion by three deflection rollers disposed between the front and rear guide rollers of the conveyor belt, one of the deflection rollers protruding upwardly through the feed plane of the conveyor belt. At the end of the conveyor belt a back-up rail is disposed thereabove to form an outlet slot therebetween, the width of which slot is controllable to provide stacking of individual sheets at the final station.
