Film lamina handling

摘要

A film lamina handling and storage device particularly suitable for handling microfiche has a central transfer area formed between upper and lower plates in which a cushion of gas is maintained to support film laminae on the cushion: the laminae may be moved around the area by gas flowing to outlets venting outwardly of the periphery of the plates; stores for individual or stacks of laminae are conveniently situated around the transfer area, the individual laminae stores being at the same level as the transfer area: the transfer area may have copying or other treatment positions.
