Photographic process with improved replenishment monitoring system

A processor for processing a photosensitive material, comprising:

• at least one processing section having a processing tank for holding a processing solution;
• a replenishment system for delivering a replenishment solution to said processing tank and for monitoring the level of the processing solution contained in said processing tank, said replenishment system comprising a container which contains the replenishment solution, a first electrically conductive rod of a first predetermined length and a tube of a second predetermined length, said rod and tube extending into said container at different distances and being positioned for detection when the replenishment solution falls to a predetermined level, said tube being capable of allowing processing solution to flow therethrough.

A processor for processing a photosensitive material, comprising:

• at least one container for holding a processing solution;
• a processing solution level monitoring and delivery system for monitoring the level of said processing solution within said container and for controlling the flow of processing solution to or from said container, said processing solution level monitoring and delivery system including a single means for controlling the flow of processing solution to or from said container and for monitoring the level of the processing solution in said container;
• wherein said single means comprises a first electrically conductive rod of a first predetermined length and a tube of a second predetermined length, said rod and tube extending into said container and being positioned for detection when the solution falls to a predetermined level, said tube being capable of allowing processing solution to flow therethrough.
