Abstract
A carrier for a package containing a stack of sheets of x-ray film has a first wall located along one side of the stack of sheets and a second wall located along the opposite side of the stack of sheets. The dimensions of the walls relative to the film sheets is such that the first wall extends less than the full width of the sheets and the second wall extends less than the full length of the sheets. This enables a sheet removing device to engage and remove a sheet from either side of the stack of sheets. The package can be loaded in either of two kinds of equipment which require the package to be oriented in different ways when sheets are to be fed from the stack.
