ABSTRACT:
The present invention is concerned with an improved automatic disk exchange device which is adapted to take out a selected one of a plurality of disks housed within a disk housing device by a transport device and to introduce the disk into and attach the disk to a recording/reproducing device, where the information is recorded on the disk or reproduced from the disk, the disk now attached to the recording/reproducing device being then taken out of the recording/reproducing device so as to be again housed in the housing device. The invention permits shortening of the distance through which the disk is moved within the automatic disk exchange device and reduces the number of operations accompanying the disk movement and the disk access time.
