Abstract: Apparatus and a method for handling magnetic recording disks of the type known as floppy disks rotatably mounted in envelopes. The apparatus comprises a bin for receiving a stack of disks and means for moving the lowermost disks one-by-one out of the stack and laterally of the bin to a first location at which one or more functions are performed with the disk, such as rotating the disks and writing data on the disks as they rotate. The disk at the first location is pulled into a second location beneath the bin, and the disk is allowed to gravitate from the second location onto a pivotal selector plate which transfers the disk into either of two collector locations. The aforesaid steps are repeated until all the supply of disks in the bin has been depleted.
