A conveyor system for transitioning articles between an external intermittent conveyor and an external continuous conveyor system includes an upper conveyor and lower conveyor. Each conveyor includes an infeed arm movable toward and away from the intermittent conveyor. Each infeed arm defines an infeed end that is movable along a common arc and rotatable about a common pivot point. With the infeed ends traveling along a common arc, each infeed end is easily moved to the same optimal receiving position for receiving articles from the intermittent conveyor. Each conveyor may switch between a continuous mode, wherein articles are continuously discharged onto the continuous conveyor, and an intermittent mode, wherein articles are intermittently received from the intermittent conveyor.

A sleeve for the receiver section for an acoustic logging tool including a tool body with receiver stations; the sleeve being capable of surrounding the tool body at least in the region of the receiver stations and having first and second apertured portions spaced along its length, the first apertured portion having elongate axial bar elements separated by windows in a circumferential arrangement, the windows being wider than the bars, and the second apertured portion having rows of circumferentially elongate slots; characterised in that each slot has a center portion and end portions, the center portion being narrower than the end portions, and the end portions being enlarged compared to the center portion, wherein the dimensions in the first apertured portion are chosen to provide a low spring constant to the sleeve. 2. A sleeve as claimed in claim 1, wherein the slots of the second apertured portion have parallel sides in the centre portion and approximately circular end portions.3. A sleeve as claimed in claim 2, wherein the ratio of the width of the slot in the centre portion to the radius of the end portion is at least 1:4.4. A sleeve as claimed in claim 3, wherein the ratio is about 1:6.5. A sleeve as claimed in claim 1 or2 wherein a second apertured portion is provided at each end of the sleeve.6. A sleeve as claimed in any of claims 1 to5, wherein each first apertured portion has no more than eight windows.7. A sleeve as claimed in any of claims 1 to6, wherein a first apertured portion surrounds the receiver stations.8. A sleeve as claimed in claim 7, wherein the windows of a first apertured portion are located in front of the receiver stations.9. A sleeve as claimed in any of claims 1 to8, when forming part of an acoustic logging tool having a tool body with a transmitter section and a receiver section.10. An acoustic logging tool comprising a tool body with a transmitter section and a receiver section comprising a number of receiver stations spaced along a tool body, each station comprising at least one receiver and a sleeve surrounding the tool body at least in the region of the receiver stations and having first and second apertured portions spaced along its length, the first apertured portion having elongate axial bar elements separated by windows in a circumferential arrangement, the windows being wider than the bars, and the second apertured portion having rows of circumferentially elongate slots, characterised in that the sleeve comprises a sleeve as claimed in claim 1.11. A tool as claimed in claim 10, wherein the slots in each row of the second apertured portion are offset from adjacent rows.12. A tool as claimed in claim 10 or11, wherein each station is surrounded by a first apertured portion of the sleeve.13. A tool as claimed in claim 12, comprising a central mandrel around which are mounted alternate, receiver mounts and spacers, the spacers being firmly connected to the mandrel and the receiver mounts being held in position by the spacers.14. A tool as claimed in claim 13 wherein the spacers and receiver mounts are made of steel.15. A tool as claimed in claim 13 or14, wherein each receiver mount contacts its neighbouring spacers via resilient contact pads.16. A tool as claimed in any of claims 13,14 or15, wherein, when arranged vertically, the weight of each receiver mount is carried by the spacer located below that mount.17. A receiver section for an acoustic logging tool comprising a number of receiver stations spaced along a tool body, each station including a number of polarised pressure sensors configured in a stack wherein the axis of polarisation of the stack of sensors is parallel to the axis of the tool body. 18. A receiver section as claimed in claim 17, wherein the pressure sensors comprise piezoelectric stacks.19. A receiver section as claimed in claim 17 or18, wherein each station has four pressure sensors spaced equidistantly around the tool body.20. A receiver section as claimed in cla
