Disclosed is an apparatus for removing the top tile from a stack thereof formed face down on a first conveyor at a first location and placing it on a device which flips the tile over onto a second conveyor adapted to travel at right angles to the first one. The flipped tile is held in place on the second conveyor while the stack of remaining tiles is moved to a second location and pushed off of the first conveyor onto the flipped tile. With the tile so oriented the backs of the tiles at each end of the stack will face outwardly.
