ABSTRACT:
An autoloader for use with a computed radiography reader receives a stack of pallets on a platform. Each pallet has registered thereon a cassette containing a photographic element that is to be read by the reader. The pallets each have side rails with openings therein. The platform is raised and lowered relative to the reader by an elevator to locate the pallets at a reading position wherein the element in the cassette is read. Pins engage the openings in the pallet at the reading position to support that pallet independent of the platform. The pallets are indexed to the reading position sequentially beginning with the lowermost pallet so that pallets with cassettes containing elements that have been read are at the bottom of the stack and can be removed while another pallet is at the reading position.
