FIELD: transportation. SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for developing new small-size surface wiring automatic devices. Said method of orientation of different-shape articles in transportation includes delivery of articles into channels, each corresponding to one or several positions of articles in architectural composition of common carrier with subsequent fixing of corresponding articles in corresponding coordinates of common carrier after their alignment. One or several transfer members are installed preliminarily into each channel in tandem to correspond to one or several coordinate positions of articles on common carrier, both in line of its architectural composition and in sequence on lines. Formed assembly of channels is arranged over closed circle and is set into rotation around axis of rotation of formed assembly of channels with common carrier displaced in same plane. EFFECT: enlarged operating capabilities. 23 cl, 16 dwg
