Abstract
A transporter for delivering cut lengths of exposed film media from a phototypesetter into a film media processor and comprising a series of spaced roller pairs motorized through slip clutches to transport and permit reverse movement of said film media, and when cut adapted to move the film media forwardly at a rate substantially greater than the throughput rate of the phototypesetter which is substantially twice that of the processor, and having a buffer storage area to receive film media delivered from the phototypesetter to be returned thereto or delivered to the film processor, there being a turn gate alternately directing the film media to the buffer storage area and in an emulsion 'up' condition or to the film processor for development and delivering the same in emulsion and character 'up' sheets cut at the entry thereof into the transporter.
