Abstract
A magazine and driving means particularly adaptable for handling semiconductor lead frames, or the like, in an automatic processing device such as a bonder is described. The magazines slidingly engage buttons on the front panel of the bonder or other device. In-line teeth defining a rack are formed on the exterior of each of the magazines. The magazines are driven directly by indexing pins which are connected to a geneva movement. Missing teeth at the ends of the racks allow the magazines to feed-through, thus providing automatic, uninterrupted operation from magazine-to-magazine.
