Abstract
Transfer apparatus for receiving a printing plate from a first station in a first horizontal orientation and for transferring the plate to a second station in a second orientation which is both vertical and rotated 90.degree. relative to the first orientation. The apparatus comprises a receptor bin for supporting the plate, which receptor bin is, in turn, supported solely by a single rotatable shaft. By mounting the shaft to the receptor bin at a precise angular orientation, rotation of the shaft about its own axis will carry the receptor bin and the plate supported on it from the first orientation to the second orientation to transfer the plate to the second station.
