Abstract
A supply line for supplying parallelepiped products to a user machine, whereby the products are fed to the user machine by a conveyor which feeds the products along a horizontal path and through a transfer station where a transfer unit removes the products off the conveyor and feeds the products to an input-output of a vertical store in which the products are stored contacting one another; the transfer unit being reversible for also removing the products from the input-output of the store and feeding the products onto the conveyor.
