Abstract
A recording carrier transport and feed unit is disclosed which includes attached together transport and feed assemblies for moving a side margin punched recording carrier web to, and withdrawing it from, the intermediate carrier of an electrostatic printer or copier. The transport assembly includes spaced parallel drive belts, each trained about at least three spaced wheel means, one of which is rotatably driven. One span of the belts presents the recording carrier to the feed device while another span withdraws the recording carrier from the feed device. The feed device presents the recording carrier to the intermediate carrier and directs it away from the intermediate carrier. The entire unit is pivotable towards and away from the intermediate carrier.
