Abstract: A pneumatic transport apparatus. A main terminal and a remote terminal each have one end of a carrier tube connected thereto. A sub-carrier is slidably received in each terminal for vertical movement therein. Means are provided at each terminal for locking the sub-carrier in the upper portion of the terminal. A carrier for transporting items between the terminals is received within the sub-carriers and moved between terminals through the carrrier tube. Reversible motors are mounted on a housing at the main terminal that is in communication with the terminal for selectively creating pressure or suction therein to cause the carrier to move from one terminal to the other.
