Abstract
A movable fixture onto which core laminates may be stacked in a manner such that the laminates are secure and easily accessible, and the fixture may be used to transport the laminates. The fixture consists of, among other things, a stacking table that has at least one pivot arm extending therefrom and a base plate that has at least one appendage extending therefrom. The pivot arm is movably and removably attached to the appendage in order to permit the stacking table to move between a transporting position and an assembling position.
