[QUOTE="Anonymous Brown Clown, post: 95985"] Package flow in a UPS HUB, from the unload to the primary sort (here 8 sorting choices), from the primary to either a secondary sort (here 3 secondarys which is a big slide the pakages slide down then have another 8 sorting choices), or the primary direct belts "PD's". Along the primary direct belts are two stations first one "high volume direct" consists of two pick-offs one on each side of the belt, the second "low volume direct" one pick-off.
