ABSTRACT:
A magazine is provided for storing a plurality of cartridges for processing and provides an operator with a visual indication as to the processing status thereof. The magazine includes a base and a pair of elongated sidewalls which are mounted to the base in a spaced-apart relationship so as to receive the cartridges therebetween. A plurality of shelves are connected between the sidewalls of the magazine at spaced intervals therealong for slidably supporting the cartridges. The magazine sidewalls and shelves form a plurality of receptacles, each receptacle having oppositely located open ends so that each receptacle will accommodate the travel of a cartridge therethrough as the cartridge slides on the shelf. First and second stop devices are mounted within each receptacle for stopping travel of a cartridge through the receptacle at first and second positions therealong. The first position indicates that the cartridge has not been processed and the second position indicates that the cartridge has been processed.
