ABSTRACT:
A film carriage mechanism and method of moving a film lamina such as a microfiche film lamina. In the mechanism preferably mounted in a microfiche camera a film carrier is mounted for movement in an `X` direction and a `Y` direction in relation to one or more stations which include a filming station and preferably a titling station and a film release station. The carrier has a first platen for holding preferably by suction means a first lamina and a second platen for holding by a similar means a second or follow-up lamina, each platen is provided with additional `X` and `Y` movement within the carrier and suitable suction and movement programming is provided to move the lamina from an initial pick up station to the filming station. At the filming station a particular time saving pattern of movement is suitably provided. After completion of the filming stage the first lamina is moved as required to a fitting stage and thence to the release station while the follow-up lamina is being moved to the filming station.
In a first embodiment the platens are arranged to move independently or in unison and can act to move one lamina when together or two laminae when moving independently on an inner carriage frame.
In a second embodiment two X direction frame activators are used in order to eliminate the inner carriage.
