Abstract: A data storage library having two inward facing storage arrays and two outward (i.e., back to back) facing arrays between the two inward facing arrays, such that an access device positioned to access one of the outward facing arrays can perform a rotation to be positioned to access one of the inward facing arrays. Thus a single access device can access all four arrays only by performing translations and rotations as necessary.

Abstract translation: 一种数据存储库，具有两个面向内的存储阵列和两个向内（即背对背）面向阵列之间的两个朝内的阵列之间，使得定位成访问面向外的阵列之一的访问装置可执行旋转定位 以访问其中一个向内的阵列。 因此，单个访问设备只能通过根据需要执行翻译和旋转来访问所有四个阵列。

Abstract: A storage library system for storing cartridges having cartridge notches formed therein includes a receiver and magazine assembly. The receiver forms an opening therein and includes an actuator member. The magazine is adapted for engagement within the receiver opening. The magazine includes a plurality of cells formed therein for receiving the cartridges. The magazine includes a locking member engageable with the actuator member to hold the locking member between locked and unlocked positions with respect to the notch of each cartridge for automatically locking and unlocking the cartridge in each of the plurality of cells as the magazine is longitudinally moved with respect to the receiver.
