Abstract
A photographic slide sorting and handling device for retaining a plurality of slides to be viewed and sorted upon a translucent surface with a source of illumination below the surface. A plurality of channel-shaped support members is affixed to the support surface in parallel spaced disposition. Each support member includes a respective slot and resting surface spaced above the slot. The slot of each support member is adapted for receipt therein of an edge of a photographic slide with the opposite edge of the slide engaged against the resting surface of a next adjacent support member. The slides are retained between adjacent support members so as to permit them to be slipped in and out of the slots and freely moved along the support members during sorting of the slides but prevented from falling out of the slots if the sorter is jostled.
