ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for (a) selecting plural desired edge-notched coded documents from different decks of similarly coded documents successively delivered to a document selector from a remote mass document store, in which selection process the selected documents extend only partially out of their respective decks in a direction parallel to their code-notched edge, and (b) successively fully removing the partially extending documents selected from the various successively retrieved decks and temporarily storing them in a temporary storage zone prior to ejecting them into a stationary container in which they are accumulated for manual removal at the convenience of an operator. Also included is a movable selected document removal and temporary storage assembly which traverses along a path adjacent the document selector proximate the leading edges of documents selected from the deck thereat. The traversing assembly is provided with means for successively removing from the deck selected documents extending into its traversing path at different points therealong and temporarily storing the selected cards so removed in a temporary storage zone incorporated in the traversing assembly. The traversing assembly further includes a document ejecting assembly which, when the traversing assembly is in its home position clear of the document selector following traversal of each deck, is effective to eject selected documents located in the temporary storage zone thereof into a stationary container adjacent the home position for accumulation and subsequent manual removal by an operator.
