ABSTRACT:
Sequential diskette transport apparatus of the reciprocating type transports diskettes one after the other from a hopper to a disk drive where the disk component of each diskette can be operated on. The apparatus then retrieves each diskette in turn from the disk drive and transports it to a receiving location where diskette sorting may take place. The apparatus also includes a special disk drive mount by which a disk drive can be quickly positioned in the apparatus at exactly the correct location to receive diskettes and which gives ready access to the underside of the disk drive for maintenance purposes. The apparatus transports the diskettes using special pickers which push only the lowest diskette in the hopper into the disk drive and then retrieves the diskette from the drive using a pulling motion. Thus, the apparatus handles the diskettes in more or less the same way as they would be handled by an operator if the loading and unloading processes were done manually.
