Photofinishing system

A film processor for processing photographic films which are rewound into individual cartridges of different shapes after exposure, said film processor comprising:

• a storage device which stores said cartridges of different shapes containing exposed films at random;
• a conveyor coupled with said storage device so as to feed said stored cartridges seriatim to a film pull-out position;
• means for pulling out and cutting off said photographic film from each of said cartridges in said film pull-out position;
• a discriminator located proximate said film pull-out position so as to discriminate and memorize the type of said cartridge positioned in said film pull-out position;
• processing means for developing said photographic film pulled out from the cartridge;
• a wind-up device disposed proximate an exit of said processing means so as to wind up said photographic film after development;
• means for selecting a wind-up cartridge, with an identification mark corresponding to a type of said cartridge from which said photographic film to be wound up was previously contained, from among a plurality of said wind-up cartridges provided with different identification marks, in accordance with said memorized cartridge type, and positioning said selected wind-up cartridge in said wind-up device.
