ABSTRACT:
Concentric annular tracks support for rotary movement a set of storage trains in the form of concentric cylindrical shelves. Each train has a vertically directed discontinuity and is driven by a separate driving unit so that the discontinuities can be aligned to form a radially directed access aisle. A stationary control member controls the driving units of the trains. In a modification, stationary storage shelves surround the trains and are equipped with conveyor for moving respective holders in vertical direction and along the circumference of each train and also radially from one train to another. Also, an elevator is provided for operation in the aisle.
