FIELD: industrial transportation. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to radioelectronic technologies and can be used for developing new small-size surface wiring devices. According to proposed method of orientation of different-shape articles in transportation, line sequences of articles in plane of rotation are formed with subsequent transfer of articles onto common carrier using transfer member. Additional article transfer members are introduced which form assembly of transfer members arranged either in radial directions or in displaced radial directions. Axis of rotation of article transfer member assembly is arranged either in plane with axis of rotation of one or two planes of forming of line sequence of articles, or coaxially, over which assembly of article transfer members is arranged. Common carrier is installed for continuous or displacement under formed assembly of article transfer member, and articles from corresponding article transfer members are transferred to and fixed on common carrier. EFFECT: enlarged operating capabilities. 24 cl, 21 dwg
