<p>A disc transport loader system (24) having a plurality of disc transport loaders (23, 25) positionable and independently movably operable within an access channel of a disc storage magazine structure for retrieving and replacing a disc (26) from and to a storage site. Each transport loader has at least one disc transport position (23a, 25a) accessible from at least one side of the loader when that side is adjacent a storage site (18) of the magazine structure. Additionally, each transport loader also has a disc engagement mechanism for transferring or receiving a disc between a first disc transport position (23a) of a first transport loader and an aligned second disc transport position (25a) of an adjacent second transport loader. Delivery and/or retrieval of multiple discs can occur simultaneously from and/or to adjacent storage or drive mechanism sites to thereby enhance time-factor performance.</p> |
