ABSTRACT:
A microfilm recorder system includes a frame, a film supply canister mountable on the frame for holding a roll of microfilm, a film take-up canister insertable on and removable from the frame for receiving the film, and a film transport assembly for moving the film from the film supply canister to the film take-up canister. The film take-up canister includes a reel on which film is wound when the reel is rotated, and a driven mechanism which, when driven, causes the reel to rotate. A driving mechanism is mounted on the frame to automatically engage and drive the driven mechanism when the film take-up canister is inserted on the frame. The frame includes an exposure section located between the film supply canister and the film take-up canister through which film travels, a first pair of generally parallel, spaced-apart rails extending in a first direction from the exposure section, and a second pair of generally parallel, spaced-apart rails extending in a second direction, opposite the first direction, from the exposure section. Both the film supply canister and the film take-up canister include a pair of generally parallel tracks located on opposite sides of the canisters so that the tracks of the film supply canister may engage and slide along the first pair of rails when the canister is inserted therebetween, and so that the tracks on the film take-up canister can engage and slide along the second pair of rails when that canister is inserted therebetween.
