Abstract
Abstract Apparatus for producing copy from simultaneously imaged multiple inputs including opaque card stock adapted to be removably positioned on the platen of a copying machine to present variable information as a composite image with a transparent document bearing fixed information. The apparatus comprises a platen on which the transparency bearing fixed information is supported, card handling means for advancing the opaque cards bearing other information in registration with a selected portion of the transparency along a first dimension and control means associated with said card handling means for moving said cards from a first to additional positions along the platen for projection with a selected portion along a second dimension of the transparency.
