Abstract
Disc films are transported to, rotated at and transported away from the copying station of a copying machine by an apparatus having a first turntable which receives successive films from one or more supply magazines and delivers the films seriatim to a transferring unit which transfers successive films onto a second turntable that partly overlaps the first turntable. The second turntable delivers successive films to the copying station and, if necessary, to one or more additional treating stations where the films are rotated by discrete prime movers prior to returning into the range of the transferring unit. The latter transfers a film from the second onto the first turntable subsequent to each transfer of a film from the first onto the second turntable, and the first turntable delivers the thus returned films to one or more collecting magazines. The turntables are mounted at different levels and are indexed by discrete mechanisms so that vibratory and/or other strap movements of the first turntable are not communicated to films on the second turntable. The apparatus constitutes a module which can be installed in existing copying machines.
