Abstract

An apparatus for moving a longitudinal film strip carrying positive or negative images and having spaced perforations along parallel longitudinal edges of the strip in a longitudinal pocket, and comprising a longitudinal planar member having first and second parallel longitudinal edges and a plurality of spaced, flexible gripping members extending out of the plane of the longitudinal member. The gripping members engage in the spaced perforations along parallel edges of the film strip when the planar member is positioned adjacent the strip in an overlying manner within a longitudinal pocket holding the strip. In a preferred embodiment, the gripping members are triangular and are arranged in spaced parallel row adjacent the first and second edges.
