The invention concerns a magazine arrangement for receiving multiple film cartridges, that, for processing of the film strips present in the film cartridges, can be attached to a processing machine, a magazine (10) consisting of a cylindrical member that has chambers (14), arranged in a circle around the member center axis (13), in which the film cartridges (16) are housed axially one above another, and each free end of the magazine (10) being covered by two superimposed closure disks (34, 35) that are mounted rotatably with respect to one another about the member center axis (13) against spring force.
In this context an adapter (50) is provided with which the magazine (10) can be joined, in the direction of the member center axis (13), to a further magazine (10') of the same shape and size; whereby the adapter (50) has means (66, 68; 66', 68') which can be brought into engagement with the closure disks (34, 35; 34', 35') of the two magazines (10; 10').
With a magazine arrangement configured in this manner, film cartridges (16) can be transferred from one magazine (10) into another magazine (10'), or individual defective cartrodges (16') can be separated and removed from the magazine (10).
