<p>Apparatus for handling cards containing data to be scanned at a reading station, and including a feeding station for a stack of cards at which the stack is agitated to dispose the cards in edge contact with a surface at the feeding station in proper alignment with the reading station. Cards are sequentially delivered to a transport roll, and held against the roll in proper reading alignment as the cards are transported past the reading station to a receiver at which the cards are stacked on end in sequence. Resilient screw devices engage and move successive cards from the path of the on-coming cards.</p> |
