A method of processing photographic material comprising the steps of transporting the material to be processed into at least one tank containing a predetermined volume of processing solution and plunging a reciprocable member into the tank to thereby rapidly displace the solution through the narrow channels created between the tank and member and thus across the surface of the material.
An apparatus for processing photographic material comprising at least one tank containing a predetermined volume of processing solution, an equivalent number of reciprocable members for plunging into each respective tank and means for transporting the material into and out of the at least one tank.
