PURPOSE: To make it possible to carry out the aging test of articles in an automatic storehouse in addition to the storage thereof, by providing a plurality of electrodes and electrode receptacles to racks and pallettes, respectively, so that the articles are stored while the articles are electrically connected with the electrode receptacles.
CONSTITUTION: A plurality of electrodes 10 are arranged on both sides of frame members 2 constituting the rack section 3 of an automatic storehouse, and are connected, at the lower surfaces of the frame members 2, to power feed lines 11, respectively. Meanwhile, a plurality of electrode receptacles 14 are arranged on the end sections of each pallette 1, and the terminals of an article, such as, for example, a brown tube 12 set on the upper surface of the pallette are electrically connected to the electrode receptacles through lead wires 13. Further, predetermined electrodes 14 for source voltages which are necessary for aging test are selected, and are connected to the article 9 on the pallette 1. Thereafter, the article 9 together with the pallette 1 is transferred to a designated rack section 3 by means of a stacker crane 6, so that it is positioned on the frame members 2 in order to be stored. Further, the electrode receptables 14 on the pallette 1 are connected with the electrodes 10 on the frame members 2, thereby an electrical voltage necessary for eging test of the article 9 is fed.
