Claims21
Apparatus for processing photographic material comprising a base member for locating the material to be processed, the base member being provided with a channel at either side thereof for holding the processing solution, and spreading means for transferring the solution from one side channel to the other, thereby spreading the solution across the material.
Apparatus as claimed in any preceding claim wherein a roller spreads the solution across the material.
Apparatus as claimed in any preceding claim wherein the base member is made of a heat conductive material.
Apparatus as claimed in any preceding claim wherein the base has a recess in which the material is located, the recess having a depth slightly greater than the thickness of the material.
A method of processing photographic material comprising the steps of locating the material on the base member, supplying solution to at least one of the side channels and transferring the solution from one channel to the other across the material, thereby causing the solution to be spread and agitated uniformly over the material.
