Differential document drive

A differential motion translating and document drive delivery system wherein said system includes power means, first means for delivery of documents sequentially along a first path, means for establishing orientation relative to a planar reference means, and means related to said first delivery means for translating the direction of movement of said documents angularly relative to said first path along a second path said paths being generally perpendicular and hence said second path is substantially parallel relative to said reference said translating means including means having a substantially line contact with said document for controlling movement of said document, said translating means further including means for converting rotary motion along said first path to linear motion along said second path, and in addition said related means has a planetary mechanism consisting of a sun gear and at least one planetary gear, said sun gear being mounted on a hollow cylindrical member coaxially supported by bearing means on a central shaft means.
