Abstract: A printed circuit board support as such board is moved through processing operations and including a defined path having guide ways receiving side portions of a carrier for a board being processed and a plurality of fibrous members such as rotatable brushes with the bristles of a stiffness engaging the board to support same at a desired level during processing such as cutting of depending leads to a final length.

Abstract: A carrier adjustable in size for holding various sized printed circuit boards during manufacturing procedures including installation of components fluxing, soldering, trimming and the like and includes a frame having conveyor engaging members mounted thereon. Laterally spaced carrier side members are adjustably supported on the frame and are adapted to support respective side edge portions of the printed circuit board. Longitudinally spaced carrier end members are adjustably supported on the frame and are adapted to support respective end edge portions of the printed circuit board. The conveyor engaging members of the frame are adapted to support the carrier on a support surface and to permit vertical stacking of like carriers.
