Abstract
An on-the-fly smart card reader has a card conveyor for continuously conveying smart cards in a downstream direction at regular intervals. A support has a pair of read heads spaced at an interval equal to the interval between cards on the conveyor. The read heads have spring-loaded contact probes which overlie the card conveyor. The support is driven in synchronism with the card conveyor in a circulating path with a downstream path segment proximate the card conveyor. The support is positioned such that, while travelling downstream, its read heads are positioned for mating with the contacts of an adjacent pair of smart card travelling along the card conveyor.
