An apparatus for positioning irregularly shaped work objects individually having substantially longitudinal axes, the apparatus comprising a frame adapted to receive said work objects and to direct the work objects along a course; a plurality of rollers mounted on the frame in a pair of juxtaposed sets on opposite sides of said course in position for engagement by said work objects in said course and so mounted on the frame as to be rotatable about individual axes substantially transversely related to said course and having terminal ends not spaced from each other a distance permitting any substantial portions of said work objects to pass therebetween; and means for moving said rollers while in engagement with the work objects to propel the work objects along said course and into individual orientations wherein the longitudinal axes of the work objects are substantially aligned with each other and with said course.
