Abstract
A sheet feeding apparatus for a copying machine includes two sheet trays and a frictional feeding device in a fixed location for top-feeding sheets from either one of the stacks. The trays are carried one above another by a tray carriage and are arranged for independent slideable withdrawal from the tray carriage towards the front of the machine. The tray carriage is mounted for vertical movements, and the upper tray is slideably mounted on a sub-frame for movements thereover in the sheet feed direction, i.e. across the machine, so that the top sheet in either one of the two trays may be brought into feeding engagement with the feeder device.
