Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An automated material handling system within a transportation craft provides accurate and automatic storage of loads while securely holding the loads even when the structure to which the system is mounted is subject to external forces. Retention systems are provided on the storage positions, transfer machine, and transfer conveyor to substantially impede unwanted motion of the loads while allowing constrained movements of the loads during a storage or retrieval. The transfer machine and storage positions are constructed for cooperatively exchanging loads utilizing a drive mechanism on the transfer machine that is able to selectively engage a driven mechanism located on each of the storage positions.
