Device for successive reproduction of information

Abstract

A device for successive reproduction of original image information to be used in a recording apparatus of a type, wherein the device includes a reciprocating table for carrying an original. The device is generally constructed with a movable table which reciprocates over the original carrying table, and on which information to be changed and selected is placed. A mechanism sequentially and automatically shifts the movable table by a driving force of the reciprocating motion of the original carrying table and thereby selectively changes the information; the shifting and changing mechanism is constructed with a plurality of mutually engaged links, wherein one of the plurality of links is displaced by the reciprocating motion of the original carrying table so as to move the movable table, and, by making variable the engaging length of at least one of the mutually engaged links, the moving distance of the movable table is made variable.
