    Abstract: A drive mechanism for causing, for example, a magnetic read head to scan a magnetic track on an identification card. The head is mounted to a carriage which is driven in a forward or reverse direction along a guide rod by bringing one of two feeler gauge drive ribbons fixedly attached to said carriage into engagement with a constantly rotating drive wheel. The head may be mounted to a rigid head mount and rotated out of contact with the card on the return stroke, with the card spring-biased against the head on the forward stroke. Alternatively, the head may be spring-loaded to the carriage with flexible feeler gauge drive ribbons alternatively brought into contact with the drive roller.

    Abstract: Increased reliability is afforded with this simplified apparatus for assembling and transporting a loose stack of documents. The documents are stacked on edge upon a pair of pinch rolls, normally stationary. A back plate is provided for supporting the documents in a loose stack, and preferably a foot plate is included for reliability in accepting documents and in forming the stack. Documents from a plurality of asynchronous sources as well as a single source of documents are readily assembled in the desired stack, for example, with the use of a conventional tined stacking or loading mechanism. The apparatus is readily adaptive to operation by computer for determining the particular documents to be stacked and, upon completion of the stacking, for applying a driving force to the rolls for transporting the assembled loose stack of documents between the rolls to the desired destination. Mechanism is disclosed for transporting the stack to a predetermined destination or diverting it to another destination, normally the ultimate using destination. Alternately a gate, synchronized with the diverting mechanism, is arranged at the end of the transport path to prohibit intrusion into the apparatus until the desired delivery is in order.
