Abstract: A paper sheet attracting system includes a suction air casing and a paper sheet attracting unit which has a bottom wall provided with a plurality of air intake openings. The paper sheet attracting unit is movably connected to the suction air casing via a flexible duct. The paper sheet attracting system further includes a pressure roller for depressing the paper sheets to be supplied. The paper sheet attracting unit is rotatable around the pressure roller, whereby the paper sheet attracting unit rotates, when driven by a drive motor, in a manner that a contacting point of the pressure roller and the paper sheets functions as a support point of the rotation. The attracting suction force created through the air intake openings is varied depending on the thickness of the paper sheet.

The above scheme further comprises a printer adapted to print out information contained on the microimages selected and transmitted to the optical system, a print control adapted to control the microfiche retrieval scheme and the printer and means for providing for the print control a signal indicating the printing out of the information of the selected microimages or that of their next succeeding microimages.

Abstract: A carrier for processing semiconductor materials consisting of a first removable mounting boat with supporting branches having grooves for receiving first type semiconductor substrates thereon, and a second mounting boat with a pair of elongated supporting members having grooves for receiving second type semiconductor substrates thereon. The mounting of the first type semiconductor substrates to the first boat can be independently performed and after this mounting, the first boat is then coupled with the second tupe semiconductor substrates. When the first and second boats are coupled, the two types of semiconductor substrates are aligned on the second mounting boat alternately between adjacent substrsates in a juxtaposed configuration. Thereby, handling of the two type of conductors are remarkably facilitated.
