Abstract: A plate feeding apparatus includes a slide mechanism for horizontally moving one of a plurality of cassettes, a lift mechanism for supporting and vertically moving the cassette horizontally moved by the slide mechanism, to a plate feed position for feeding plates to an image recording apparatus, a transport mechanism for transporting the plates to the image recording apparatus from the cassette moved to the plate feed position by the lift mechanism, and a strip sheet discharge mechanism for discharging strip sheets each disposed between an adjacent pair of the plates.

Abstract: A slit exposure type copying camera comprises an original-mounting glass sheet (4) placed on the upper surface of a camera box (1), a suction member (10) adapted to transfer a rolled photosensitive material (2) in the lower region of the interior of said box, a slit exposure type scanner (5) adapted for being reciprocated in a region between said glass sheet and said photosensitive material, a cutter (6) disposed adjacent an exposure start position to cut the photosensitive material exposed to light by means of said scanner, and conveying means (19, 7) for conveying the exposed cut strip outside the camera.
