Abstract: The apparatus comprises a reversible conveyor disposed between a deflection station and an access slot. The deflection station allows the dispensing of an empty envelope from a magazine 11 towards the conveyor and the deposition of an envelope containing valuables from the conveyor into a drawer. The apparatus further comprises a printing device at an intermediate position along the length of the conveyor for printing data serially on the envelope during its transfer to the drawer. This is disposed in a safe and is of the sealed type, including two motor driven rollers for inserting the envelope into the drawer. The rollers can be locked in such a way as to close the access to the drawer when the drawer is open. The apparatus is controlled by a microprocessor in two way communication with a central control unit of the apparatus.

Abstract: Heavy-duty railway transport equipment for carrying out banking services between a teller terminal inside a bank and a customer terminal at a remote drive-up station visible to the teller, which transport equipment can accommodate heavy and bulky banking material loads for commercial banking transactions. The transport system includes a track-traveling car-cradle-container assembly which moves as a unit along a track connected with the terminals. The terminals each have doors normally latched closed but automatically opened upon arrival of the assembly at the terminal. The terminal doors are latched closed when moved to closed position. The container is moved to differently oriented positions at the two terminals when the terminal doors are opened for convenient access by a teller of customer. The container has a multi-pivot mounting on the car to enable such different orientation, and has a large generally rectangular top opening for easy access.
