Abstract
Apparatus for use in an electrographic copier having a plurality of electrographic process stations for forming visible images on the surfaces of discrete dielectric sheets. Such apparatus establishes a predetermined operative interface between a discrete dielectric sheet and an electrographic process station so that the function of such process station is uniformly applied to the surface of such dielectric sheet. The apparatus includes a member for supporting a dielectric sheet, such member having a sheet supporting surface mounted for movement along a path from a location remote from a process station to a location which is a predetermined distance from such station and then away from such station. As such supporting surface moves along such path, an edge of a discrete dielectric sheet is clamped to the member and successive portions of the surface area of such sheet measured from such clamped edge are tacked to the supporting surface of the member as such portions are moved with the supporting surface to the location a predetermined distance from such process station. The moving member thus supports and transports the tacked sheet whereby the function of such process station is uniformly applied to the surface of such sheet.
