Abstract
X-ray film feeding magazine usable in a film handling automatic apparatus, comprising a tray (3) in which is defined a housing (26) to receive an x-ray film packet (F). The film housing is delimited by a front gauge (17) and at least a side gauge (28) which can be shifted between a stand-by position and a work position to reduce the housing dimensions to prearranged values. The shifting of said movable front and side gauges from the stand-by to the work position is controlled by means of contrast elements (15) which are associated with the front gauge and accessible from the outside to apply an external thrust to the front and side gauges.
