A microfilm inserter having a table for retaining a microfilm jacket in a fixed position is provided with a pair of feed rolls at either end of the table, a detecting means for detecting the trailing end of a microfilm strip to be inserted into said jacket, and a cutter for cutting off the leader of said microfilm strip. A film strip having a leader is fed through the feed rolls at one end and into the insertion slot of the jacket. When the leader exits from the far end of the jacket, it passes between the other pair of rolls and the film strip continues to be transported even after the trailing end thereof has passed through the feed rolls at said one end. When it is detected that the trailing end of the film strip has arrived at a predetermined position, the film strip is stopped and the leader is cut off along the far end of the jacket.
A microfilm inserter comprising a table for retaining a microfilm jacket in a fixed position, first feed rolls located at one end of said table for inserting a microfilm strip into an insertion slot in said jacket, second feed rolls located at the other end of said table for further transporting said film strip after it emerges from the exit of said jacket, means for driving said first and second feed rolls, means for detecting the trailing edge of said film strip, and means for cutting off the leading portion of said film strip along the exit of said jacket when the detecting means detects the trailing end of said film strip.
