It seems to work... But there might be a bug in it.
Usually you can put a redstone torch one block under the front of a piston. When a block that can transmit a current is placed on top of it, the piston will not activate. It will activate if you lead a red stone current from one of the sides of the block atop the torch back to the backside of the piston.
Anyway.. this was supposed to be my trigger for pushing all the stone into chests. But the chest piston activates (all though the animation of the piston pushing the stone is missing as well as the piston sound) as soon as a block is placed atop the torch and the block is transported to the chest.
Manual activation of the pistons will show the pushing animation with sound.
Edit:
Scrap the above... I fixed the trigger by simply putting one repeater into the current from the torch to the pistons.
I have now a fully automatic smooth stone generator that will fill 3 large chests to the brink with smooth stone.
That is 3456 smooth stone blocks in one chest and 10368 blocks total before the machine stops filling the chests.
