Abstract: A magazine for containing sheet films in a stack for use in an X-ray photographing machine has a substantially U-shaped, plate like pad mounted on the top plate of a casing of the magazine. The arm sections with narrow widths of the U-shaped pad are disposed on the side portions of the inner wall of the top plate along the longitudinal axis of the magazine. The free ends of the arm sections extend up to the edge of the top plate for partially delineating the edge of an opening for film passage. Through the opening, a sheet film is pulled out from the magazine, while sliding on the pad.
