Abstract
A disk shipper assembly consists of a bottom and a cover which mates therewith in latching engagement. The bottom and cover can be handled, as a complete package, by its constituent components and in assembly and disassembly entirely by robotics. The shipper bottom is configured to permit ID or OD handling of the disk contents. The bottom is further configured to be compatible with certain existing disk carriers in manually transferring the disk content to the carrier and vice versa. Since the particular disk carrier with which the bottom of the disk shipper is compatibly designed prohibits external diameter handling, the novel disk shipper bottom facilitates transposing the disks from the carrier into a configuration that permits both ID and OD handling.
