ARTICLE CONVEYING Abstract Record medium containing articles are conveyed between a storage compartment wall, a read/write unit, and back to the storage compartment wall. A movable accessing mechanism selectively fetches articles (tape- containing cartridges) from the storage compartment wall and inserts same into a horizontally disposed pivotable input apparatus. The weight of the article in the input apparatus pivots it downwardly to a ver- tical position whereat the article leaves the input apparatus and enters a rotary conveyor. The rotary conveyor is automatically indexed between input, work, and output positions. The cartridge is indexed from the input to the work position of the rotary conveyor. Thereat, a reciprocating rotatable idler shaft moves a spool from the cartridge into a read/write unit for transducing operations. A single motor drives the con- veyor and reciprocating shaft. On completion of the data processing operations, the spool is returned to the rotary conveyor, released from the idler shaft, and indexed to an output position. The cartridge then falls into an output apparatus and is returned to the com- partment wall.
