Abstract
Automatic electrostatographic reproduction apparatus in which an image to be reproduced is moved during imaging thereof on to a moving photoconductive plate. The apparatus includes a simple and effective drive for the image carrier. The drive is particularly suited for use in apparatus incorporating an intermediate image storage device as the image carrier to enable signal encoded images, the components of which are displayed sequentially, to be stored and displayed in a format acceptable to the electrostatographic processor. The drive permits the image carrier to be driven synchronously with the photoconductive plate while enabling the image carrier to be held stationary without interrupting the reproduction process. Thus the image storage device may, following scanning thereof, be held stationary for receiving and storing a fresh image while the previous image is still being treated in the electrostatographic processor.
