Abstract
A magazine has a space for receiving a package containing a stack of film sheets enclosed within a bag. The bag is removable from the stack of sheets while the package is within the magazine by exerting a pulling force on the bag. Means are provided within the magazine for flexing the stack of film sheets in response to pulling of the bag from the stack, thus loosening adjacent sheets in the film stack that may be stuck together and facilitating removal of the sheets seriatim.
