Abstract of the Disclosure Apparatus for validating a card having posi- tioned thereon a plurality of redundant encoded blocks of data readable by moving the card past a reader and for controlling the movement of such a card whose valid- ity is to be determined. A card transporter moves a card along a predetermined path. A reader senses each block of data on the card as it moves forward along the path from an entry position to a dwell or escrow posi- tion and supplies an electrical signal representative of the data in each block. A card validator responsive to this signal compares data derived from at least one block thereof with a preselected set of data in making the validity determination. The validator includes circuitry for combining the data from at least one block with a prior set of data to produce a stored resultant set of data, and for comparing it with a preselected set of data and for supplying an indication of card va- lidity if these sets of data are identical. If the card is not determined to be valid, the card transporter re- turns it to the entry position. A valid card remains in the escrow position pending either subsequent collec- tion thereof or the return thereof.
