Abstract
An apparatus for receiving multiple film cartridges that, for processing of the filmstrips present in the film cartridges, can be attached to a processing machine. The apparatus, configured as a magazine includes a cylindrical member that has chambers, arranged in a circle about the member center axis, in which the film cartridges are housed axially one above another. Each of the chambers has an opening terminating at the circumferential surface of the member. In addition, a sleeve mounted on the circumferential surface of the member and covering all the openings, which has a removal slot of the width and length of one of the openings, is provided. Cover panels associated with each film cartridge are mounted displaceably on the sleeve to cover or uncover the removal slot.
