Automatically sorts bulk mailings into common groups. Optically scans
address labels and recognizes "codes" on the labels, such as changes in
the zip codes. A solenoid is activated in response to codes. The solenoid
forces an envelope with "code" thereon out of alignment to indicate a new
common group.
