ABSTRACT:
The autoloading mechanism accepts diskettes stacked in an input tray and loads each into a slightly modified commercial disk drive for read-write operations. At the end of these operations, the diskette is either rejected or inserted into an output tray. The diskette transport mechanism uses a pair of belts, unidirectionally travelling along a simple loop-shaped path, to load an input diskette into the drive and insert an output diskette into the output tray while travelling a distance equal to half the belt length. The disk drive is easily removed for servicing or replacement.
