Abstract
A film transport system for transporting a closed loop of film continuously about a defined pathway incorporating a sub-pathway whereabout multiple film strip segments of the closed loop are transitorily stored in a slidable adjacent face-to-face contact. The system includes a deck, film guide means, film drive means, and a film oscillator subassembly which jogs laterally the film strip segments in the sub-pathway. The oscillator subassembly functions to prevent film seizures in the sub-pathway which tend to occur more frequently as the total film loop perimeter is increased for a substantially constant sub-pathway perimeter.
