Claim 6:
7. A method of detecting and rejecting a core having a non-conforming core color before the core is covered, comprising the steps of:
loading a core on a transport track at a first location thereof;
progressing the core on the transport track from the first location toward a second location thereof;
detecting the core's color and determining whether the core's color is a conforming core color or a non-conforming core color using a color differentiation device that is positioned proximate to or within the transport track while the core progresses between the first location and the second location;
notifying the transport track before the core reaches the second location if the core has a non-conforming core color;
wherein the transport track progresses the core to the second location for covering unless notified that the core has a non-conforming core color; and
wherein the transport track rejects/releases/eliminates the core before it reaches the second location if the transport track is notified that the core has a non-conforming core color.
