Abstract
It is presented a note transport unit for feeding notes one after the other to and from a note handling unit. The note transport unit comprises at least one note storage drum to and from which input notes and output notes, respectively, are transported. A bidirectional roller is arranged to transport notes along a first guide surface towards and from the at least one note storage drum. Moreover, first and second films are provided, between which films notes are stored on the at least one note storage drum. Several converging areas are used for the capturing of both input notes and output notes when notes are transferred between the note handling unit and the at least one note storage drum. It is also presented a method for bidirectional transfer of notes to and from the note transport unit.
