Abstract
A transport roller assembly for moving film along a film transport path between a pair of rigid plates in an imaging system. The rollers are preassembled in the bearing block assemblies and the assemblies are installed in the system by sliding them into receiving slots in the plates. The roller surface and the bearing block assembly are constructed from static dissipating materials to remove static from the surface of the film as it is transported.
