Abstract: Apparatus for storing plate-like members in a compact volume in upright position, and for removing those members from storage and laying them in a horizontal series and returning the members to storage, is useful for example in the laying of a support for supporting amusement vehicles, for example in a traveling fair or circus. A vertically swinging assembly separates the members one by one from storage and swings them down to horizontal position and then pushes them so that each member pushes in front of it, along the trackway, the members previously deposited. The members are stored in pendant relationship on inclined tracks that terminate downwardly in an abutment, which ensure their sequential but groupwise feeding to the position at which the vertically swinging assembly engages them, lifts them out of contact with the abutment, and then lowers them.
