Abstract
A microfiche card storage and retrieval system utilizes a card transport to remove or insert a card from a support tray. The card transport has two pairs of fingers spaced to grasp the edge of a card and are opened to grasp an edge of the card in the tray and as the card is withdrawn the pairs of fingers separate to tension the edge of the card between the pairs of fingers.
